I can't help that feeling changes like these are gradually making beam lasers and railguns more and more similar. There seems to be very little setting them apart other than their damage type, and that seems wrong.
Can't Amarr ships just be given more powergrid to fit the turrets they're supposed to fit? The Oracle already fits these just fine, it's the Armageddon, Apocalypse, and Abaddon that have trouble.
And to address the capacitor cost--I think the cost should remain high and if anything, Amarr ships should be given a smaller capacitor that regenerates faster to compensate (like a built in capacitor flux coil). It should be an even exchange and their overall capacitor strength should be similar to other battleships. It's not unfair if lasers hit harder than other weapons. Pulse lasers already hit like autocannons even though they have considerably higher range - a little higher dps might still be in order just because autocannons are sort of a low-damage weapon anyway. Beam lasers should hit significantly harder than railguns, like 25% harder. You give an Amarr ship a capacitor cost reduction, it should be the equivalent of giving another ship a damage boost. But if you give the Amarr ship a damage boost without capacitor cost reduction, then it's a powerful long-range attack ship that can't fire for long periods of time. Those have plenty of use too.

I don't see a problem with blasters being viable on an Abaddon. Pulse lasers will have quite a bit more projection but with a MWD and webifier you could capitalize on the higher DPS of blasters.
