I'm just asking, but is there a difference between those two? Also, why would anyone use a plate bending machine if you can use metal formers?
What's the difference between a GregTech plate and a IC2 one?

With GT, plates cost double the ingots.

BTW, my main question is "Why would someone make a plate bending machine if they had a metal former?"

That machine is disabled when GT is installed.
Plates early game cost twice as much, but later on it costs exactly the same.
