What good ways are there of travelling up & down. My new base is very tall, and I was originally going to travel up & down via arcane levitators until I realised I couldn't stop at every floor. Ideally, I would like to able to push a certain button and be taken to the correct floor, but I don't know if its possible. Is it? How would I go about doing it?

I just recently added an EnhancedPortals network to my base to move between floors. Best part is I can go straight to the floor I want as well as other offsite locations that I've set up.
I know it is, but seeing as I want to be able to stop at any floor, this is beginning to seem like the best solution. Unfortunately i'm no good with redstone, i'd never be able to make it work... I don't suppose anyone knows of a guide on this sort of thing?
Actually, what you can do is route redstone to each Arcane Levitator.
You push a button for Floor 2 and it activates 2 Arcane Levitators.
Floor 5 activates 5.
Or 3.
Whatever doesn't push your buttons.

Redstone is a strength of mine.
But this is actually extremely simple.
B is for Button and R is for Redstone Line.
B1 activates R1.
B2 activates R2 and R3.
R2 leads to a repeater which activates R1.
R1 leads to A1 (Arcane Levitator).
R3 activates A2.
B3 activates R4, R5, and R6.
R4 leads to a repeater that activates R2.
R5 leads to a repeater that activates R3.
R6 activates A3.
So on, so on, so on.
There is a way to do this with arcane levitators and taking advantage of the fact that they turn off with a redstone signal. Basically you need to stack a few together and wire them all to a complex control system to power and unpower the redstone signal to control the lift height as needed.
I thought of this as well, but you have to make each floor 11 blocks tall. I think i'll just go with elevator tracks.
You could always use wireless redstone so that you press a button, and blocks extend to prevent you from going higher than the destination floor. Then, when you get off of the levitators, you step on a pressure plate that reset's the system. Not multiplayer-safe, but alright otherwise.
I inagine the creative use of toggle latches and such would help. If you're especially good, you can program in failsafes, but that'l be much harder.

Jetpacks man. Heh, Though I know you want a base solution. Try making a vanilla piston elevator? Though those might not be fast enough for your tastes.
IC2 teleporters are the fastest, given that you can supply the EU required. Thank goodness on SSP I can use waypoints.
