Will this make much of a difference?
I was thinking of making and using/selling full buff sets, using ACRDM in the Action and Health packs, and regular CRDM in the rest. What's everone think? Do the extra few points on the secondary stats make much of a difference for HAM costs and regeneration?

It probably wouldn't matter in PvE but might make a slight difference in PvP. Of course the biggest issue is dealing with the customers. I am pretty sure that a 830 instead of 890 buffpack would have a negative impact on sales.

If you cannot afford to do ACRDMs into all your buffs then just focusing them in Health/Action is best.
I agree with Mejowepra that it won't matter in PvE... in PvP it would depend what armor you wear and its HAM cost. Since you usually have time to heal your damage in PvE, but may not have that luxury in PvP.
And yeah customers may complain, but who cares about them. All they do is whine

I would not if I were you.
Armor takes from the secondaries and most people wear it.
Specials will be no cost if the second stat is over 1500 while wearing armor.
You cut into the secondary stats...your customers will get ticked when their specials start eating up there health faster than the damage caused by their enemies.

Armor/Customers only matters if your buffing other people 
And dropping ACRDM to CRDM reduces it by 50-70 or so, which at the most correlates to like 200 or so on the buff. If your just gonna buff yourself and friends yeah do it

I agree with mahir. I think I might try this on my own for-sale buffs. I'd price them a bit lower but also would save the 100 cpu avian and 80 cpu liquid 4 on 275*2*4 ACDRM's...

Sounds like a great business model don't it

Yeah
I'm thinking it won't make such a great difference. I'm guessing a Master doc could still hit for 2000-2200 with these buffs, which would add up to 2300-2500 secondary ham even for a guy with minimized secondaries. Worst case scenario, with 900 total ENC on the armor, were talking 1400 after ENC.

Gimped buffs, yeah, there's a market for those. You save gobs of credits by not buying all that reactive and avian, and charge less for your packs.
You ARE charging less for gimped buff, right? Because I'd be pretty ticked to pay 10-15k for buffs only to find the secondaries 200-300 less than the health and action.
Real ticked.

Ok, now I'm confused.....I was under the impression that ALL buffs required Avian and RG, except action buffs.
The main benefit of not using ACRDMs is to save you the cost in Herbivore meat, and to a lesser extent, class 4 LP

Rikilli is right - by using non-advanced chemical release duration mechanisms you save herbivore and class4 liquid petrochemical fuel.
It is up to you whether the drop in cost is worth the drop in power of the final product. If the rest of your ingredients are good enough, you can certainly still make packs that are over 809 power which will hit for 2000 at master doctor with BE clothes and no bivoli. In many situations, that is all the customer really needs...
