Unless it can be melded, nothing they make will ever compete with 2x melded crafted gear. Why? Because the game is balanced around a single materia in crafted gear. However unique gear can give unique bonuses you can't get through materia. Stats that don't have materia associated with them or can't be put on that particular piece.
