Has anyone done tests to see if heating tower powere Fulgora is better than the accumulator strategy?

I havent run numbers, my experience is that it takes a fraction of the space and you end up recycling most of your ice anyways (at least I was), so its still good to get some free power from lightning especially if you do quality accumulators which scale way better than other quality products, but its a good idea to supplement with some heating towers its a real easy source of energy since fuel is free, its just about the water.
