Am I reading these right? Are these the same price, but one gives +3500 power and the other +2500? What the hell?

The 2500 one used to give +20 veils. Stats boosts on items were removed shortly before launch and I don't think the prices were rebalanced. But I imagine there will be a patch someday to address this.
The removal of stats boosts explains other price disparities such as the deck guns used to give irons bonuses and now they don't. Basically you were paying for the stat boost with a little extra cost and reduction in speed. Makes sense when you think of 20 veils as a 999 echos x 20 secret value.

Mix and match. But, that being said, the fulgent impeller, with power 5000, on the 15k ship makes it go perhaps twice as fast as the starter.
Fuel will burn at a set rate regardless of ship size (which is 0.1% of engine power per second at full throttle (not full power) - in the case of the fulgent, that's 5% of a barrel per second, knocked to 2.5% with the native fuel efficiency).
lamp takes 1% per second, all ships, all lamps. But it means that the 3500 engine actually chews more fuel than the fulgent, but you'll struggle to notice a speed difference in any of the ships other than the 29k one between 5k and 3.5k.
