Both of them make the name too long and wordy, but I think a lot of people like the flavor text, so why not use the flavor text itself as the niche definition.
You can't have a Cold-Gas Shield Extender or Heavy Missile Launcher, or an Arbalest Tachyon Beam Laser. CCP replaced the variety of naming flavors with this new pattern that is tailored to cater to the dense in the world because it is too hard to memorize some names.

Even if you didn't know what the name of the mod is that you were looking for you could still search for "Microwarp drive" and it will bring up the relevant modules. If you're searching for "Experimental 10MN Afterburner" why the hell are you searching, you already know where it is just use the menu to get there.
I use it nearly exclusively to find things in the market. I hate the menus, submenus, subsubmenues, expanding and collapsing menus. A simple "1MN A" in the search field and I get all I want. Same for "Javelin", "Antim", "Dram", "Cyna", "Provi", "Conflag", "Experimental" ... you get the picture. I do not understand why people use the menus in the first place. As soon as you have used modules often enough, you should have memorized their names and will be a whole lot faster with the search function to get to the modules than with clicking and scrolling through the menus. The only time when I find the menus useful is when I look for special things that I do not use often.

(FLUFF name) (PROPERTY) (X MN) Afterburner/Microwarp Drive
Right now you have some modules starting with "1MN" and ending with "Afterburner" and others with these two right next to each other. If there is a hierarchy it isn't clear, and some people are going to still search "1MN Afterburner" and miss results because of this formatting.
Would make sense, especially considering that all the modules except for the T1 meta versions have their explicative text bits in front of the class numeration.
