Hey all,
Is it worth splashing out on a crystal set (whether low or high grade) for lvl 4s?

Once you have a multi bilion CNR why not.. if you stay in high sec..
In any case I would first spend my cash on a CNR, then faction boost/amps, then tech II CCC rig and faction missile launchers. Then you will decide you don't need those implants anyway :)

Ah ok.
I just thought that 800mill or so for a low grade crystal set would provide the same effectiveness to T2 equipment that a few billion of faction modules would.

I wouldn't start with a CNR - I'd start with individual ones of the low-grade since if something nasty happens during a mission you may lose your ship but you won't lose your implants, assuming hisec.
Once you have a full set then consider either doing what I did - pull em one at a time for high-grade ones *cough* or do what sensible people do and create a clone, push the highs into it, and at the point the clone has more boost than the low-grade then you switch to the (partial?) high-grade set and use the low-grade as pew-pew fodder, then finish up the high-grade set.
I'd get the CNR last. Probably later than I'd get Caldari Navy Cruise Missile Launchers since with the LP store they aren't that expensive to manufacture... and definately later than I'd get the faction perma-tank since every mod I fit I want to keep so might as well do tank first then finish up with gank modules.
Even with a high-grade set (bar low-grade epsilon) and mostly faction setup there is still isk to spend :-( Once you get to a certain point though switching the t2 hardners for pith x-types etc doesn't seem quite as worth it since unless I pull full level aggro my shield doesn't drop below 5% for more than a 3.2 seconds - so throw more gank to speed up the missions.
Trust that rambling mess above made some sort of sense ;)

First make sure you can use PDU II's.
Next save up for xl gist c-type or b-type booster. Use a raven with 3 CCC rigs, 3 PDU II, 2 BCU II and 3 hardners, 1 amp, 1 cap recharger II and the gist boster of course.
Your gist booster runs forever now. Then you can either invest in high grade or low grade crystals, or spend lots of isk on better amps or a CNR. I personally just bought a highgrade crystal set with low grade epsilon for my alt, and it afk tanks lvl4's while I am pvping. --
