This is one of the reasons I always had a bit of a liking for this scrapped plot point. I can't exactly it's better, considering we STILL don't know all too much about it but I can see the skeleton of a good idea that only needed a bit more work on it. I think the reason I never really liked the whole "synthetics vs. organics" idea because I never really felt it was a strong enough theme to hold the whole series up. That doesn't mean a "synthetic vs organics" theme is weak, it's been done very well in a whole bunch of stories, I just never really thought that Mass Effect was really COMMITTED to that theme until they started adding a few retro-active examples (like the AI the Protheans fought) in the last game. I think the main problem for me though was that it just wasn't presented all that well, it just never meshed well with me. At least with the Dark Energy plot, it felt a little more unique and it dealt with one of the more important aspects of the Mass Effect universe. Still, I won't say it's "better" per se than the current ending (mainly due to the lack of info) but I at least like the concept better.
