I think the only problem with the Freedom vs Impulse fight is when people try to use it to make some kind of "x is more powerful than y" type of statement. Of course, that's just the usual reaction to these types of stories.

I also can't help but feel that the Impulse was specifically designed as a plan in case they ever had to fight the Freedom. Kira's specialty is disarming and the Impulse just happens to be able to switch parts quite freely (props to Shinn for the kamikaze with those broken parts though). Then suddenly right after the fight he is given the more powerful Destiny. Why not just give him the Destiny before and have a suit that was more on par or possibly better than the Freedom? Because Durandal knew the Impulse would be more likely to last longer against the Freedom leaving open more chances for Kira to make a mistake. While the Destiny would be useless if Kira manages to get his attacks in.
