Money is CP, one way or another, so it is effectively the same thing unless all of your players have Multimillionaire 1+. In effect, every energy point is worth 1/50 average starting wealth ($20/energy point at TL3 or $400/energy point at TL8) when purchased as Signature Gear, so it is a good metric for the conversion (+25% to cost if bought as normal gear). A TL8 character with Filthy Rich only has $400,000 to spend on adventuring gear, which translates to 800 energy points, which suggests that magical gear should be really too valuable to have as normal loot.
