Is there a ability to upgrade my stuff like turn a mid tier redstone cell into a higher tier one and the same with the strongboxes?

Makes perfect sense to me. An occasional showing of awesome pictures every now and again like this is awesome, though. Gives us all something to look forward to. ^.^
Which post in here fully describes how redflux will work?
Do you have anyone on board for your new power system, or will this be blutricity 2 electric boogaloo?

I've not yet seen anything on how Redstone Flux will work. I'm pretty sure it will be a lot more useful that Blutricity was. Blutricity's problem is that it wasn't on par with EU or MJ. It's devices used far less power than the others and it's power gen made far less than the others. Good internally but bad in a mixed environment. Especially as there was really no good interplay. You could convert BT to MJ, but not back.
Based on the fact that King has added several engines in TE2, along with the wonderful conduits and RECs, I think he knows full well how to make a useful and efficient power system. I'm pretty sure, despite not knowing much about it yet, that it'll be my primary power system when TE3 comes out.
Some people just don't understand how good purple really is...aah well, more purple for folks like us, eh Jaded?Thats the creative chest. And what's wrong with purple
MJ seems to have lost it's way in an attempt to improve. If you are like me, then all you used it for was Mekanism, MFR and Thermal Expansion machines... and now MJ won't support any of those. Hopefully RSF will though, and it can be the new king of the block.
I don't think that it's "lost it's way" so much as that it's blazing it's own trail. We may not like it's current path, but that's the path that BC is choosing to take. Many used MJ in the past for convenience as it was already there, already built, and was configurable enough to suit almost everyone. With the MJ changes taking away options that were previously used by other mods, RF seems well placed to become what MJ was. A good, stable, efficient power system that won't enforce one mod's operating paradigm upon another's.
Not something I've ever gotten into. Luckily, as KL previously stated, RSF will probably be able to be converted into MJ, just not the other way around.
That's fine with me. I don't mind having an adapter type block next to the few MJ machines that exist.
It might just be this community, but the change in MJ doesn't seem very popular. I know for myself I was never keen on it (back in the old tekkit days), it wasn't until TE that I decided to see what MJ and associated tech offers.

really worth getting into though, as it makes the bee breeding a whole lot easier and manageable
It just kinda sucks because the list of mods with MJ but no real buffer block to store energy in is unreal.
-Mekanism
-Forestry
-Extra Bees
-Buildcraft
-Applied Energistics
-Railcraft
-MFR
-MFFS
Really think a "blast to the past" MJ energy cell should be added.. Just my opinion.

Because I hate Mekanism
haha. Never been a fan of the mod but if I have to use it..Because I hate Mekanism
You also have PowerBoxes, EnderIO and possibly others than can store MJ in blocks. The EnderIO one is even multiblock and can store\input\output more than RECs. I just used Mekanism because it was on your list
Ender IO has really stepped up to the plate and filled in for TE while TE is updated. The Ender IO capacitors are almost a direct replacement for RECs. I also like the SAG Mill.
In 1.6.4 so far, I don't think I could get by without MJ. I love my bees and my ExtraBees machines and those machines are power-hungry. A few synthesizers and purifiers will make a grown 36HP boiler cry.
Am really looking forward to TE for 1.6 and am sure KL and CoFH will impress us all

I was the same, untill I started playing Forestry with Extra Bees, those machines makes things really easy and makes bees actually fun for me
