Yes but from day one I knew I was always going to add Thermal Dynamics when it came out. Everyone loves and enjoys that aspect of Thermal Expansion. I have been following its development very closely since it was announced it would be released separately from TE.
We are debating on adding Binnie's Mods back into the pack. It was in during earlier versions of the pack but was removed due to incompatible versions with Binnie not updating for a while. Seems its working fine now in my test environment.
We would surely love to hear your thoughts about the additions, if you have any.
You can make a barrel room with AE2 you just need to use dense cables with the import buses. Its just a matter of learning how the new channel system works.
Actually, storage in AE2 shouldn't take up more than 1 channel if you plan it out correctly using storage buses and interfaces. You chain several subnets together, line up 6 barrels/chests/me drives/whatever on each subnet and then it only takes up 1 on your main network. The only place this doesn't work is with the Thaumcraft add on since there isnt an Essentia Interface. You'll still need to use a lot of channels there. This mean you'll need a few dense cables to handle them all. If space is a concern, you can route them through p2p interfaces on a subnet.
There's a lot that you can do with AE2. It's about challenge and creativity. Channels make you think about your wiring instead of just mindlessly growing a network.
That is actually one thing I really like about this pack. Cuppy doesn't let it become boring and too easy. If he finds a mod that basically turns everything into easy mode, he'll tweak it to make it harder to obtain.

first, thank you for the modpack, i have a server where i play on solo, and i really enjoy it !
second, i have a question : how i can make a mining world/dimension portal like you've done on the official server ? i found no recipe on NEI, and didn't see anything about it on www or youtube.
Glad you are enjoying the pack so much. The portal to the mining world is intended for server owners to open. If you would like to open one yourself you will need to build a portal out of diamond ore blocks. The size of the standard nether portal works or bigger. Then you will need to spawn in through creative mode a "portal spawner" from OreGen. Simply right click the portal with the spawner and it should open up. Note that spawn protections will stop the portal from lighting.
We would surely love to hear your thoughts about the additions, if you have any.

Mining World has been reset. Copper, Tin, Aluminum, Uranium, and any other troublesome ore should now be generating
there.
Thank you very much, all work well. I must say that's one of the pack quality : all work as it should
perhaps you could wrote somewhere that open a portal to mining dimension is reserved in solo/creative | multi/admin ?
