of the three Eve Online is the only one that gives one set of players (t2 BPO holders) an advantage over another set of players (inventors). An advantage that the inventors can do nothing about.
Then again, as mentioned, it also gives one set of players (inventors) an advantage over another set of players (BPO holders) that the BPO holders cannot match, so it balances outà 
i think the difference is that bpo holders can become inventors if they wish to, while inventors cannot just become t2 bpo holders (unless a bpo holder is willing to sell their bpo to them).

i think my post was misinterpreted here.
i replied to someone arguing that inventors also have advantages over t2 bpo holders because they can produce greater numbers.
my point was that it is not really an advantage for the inventors, because t2 bpo holders could, shall they really wish to, also have this advantage by becomming inventors, while inventors can not take on the advantage that bpo holders have.

That is just bollox.
A t2 BPO holder can invent too.
àand an inventor can go out and buy a T2 BPO, just like most of the current BPO holders.
a bpo holder can become an inventor as he wishes.
he could make a decision for a certain item and be going tommorow.
an inventor cannot do that.
he needs the luck of someone selling him his bpo. and he does not have the choice that the bpo holder has. some t2 bpo's are just "priceless" and not ever being sold.
overall an inventor needs to put much more effort into becoming a t2 bpo holder and produce from it in a profitable way than what it takes for a bpo holder to become an efficient inventor.

Priceless? Incorrect, everything and everyone has their price. What you mean is, you dont have the money to pay that price.
if the price is equal to 20 years of speculated profit from it, that is the same as "priceless". stupidly high price == no price.
imagine you wanted to buy my character. i tell you "sorry dude, my character is not for sale - it is priceless". you then go on and on about it and i say "well, ok. i'll sell it to you for 5000bn isk. it has a price now. not my fault if you cannot afford it."
