Empire has better cabal powers, by far. More people in Empire have access to the better cabal powers, by far (Empire, 4 sect leaders, 10 elite spots = 15 players, more than any maran/acolytes at a given time).

In theory yes, in practice there are somewhat equal numbers of sect leader + elite and marans/acolyts.

Empire also has access to more summoning classes and better killing classes.

Really? Empire hero ap or necro are very very hard to play and rarely exists. Most of them delete pre-hero, the rest quite fast after becoming hero. While there are at least 2-3 fort paladins who always around

And by the way, empire has access to greater damage reduction than fortress does.

I'm not sure what you've smoked today but that's pure bullshit. Fortress almost always have 1-2 active healers, 1-2 bards, 1 transmuter, and sometimes(quite often) 1 invoker. Empire at best have bard.

Ask anyone that's played both (other than you - but we can always compare your imperial PBFs to Faltarn's :P).

I'm not sure wtf are you going to find out of this compares.
