It states in C:CSM that the AdMech desires to be able to acheive a level of combination identicle to the Dark Mech, but will fall short due to the Warp giving a 'yes, this can go into nowhere for now, a use will grow later' factor.

So theres not that muh between them, besides who they sell to

*chuckle* There is a difference between wanting to explore all the natural laws of warp technology in addition to the standard laws of physics (which is what the original mechanicum and the admech want) and binding sentient daemons into the pure code and creating an a screaming scrapcode that violates and corrupts all normal tech. (twisting the technology and perverting the code to the point that it destroys all the knowledge stored within and making non-reproducable results)

Mechanicum/admech ideals - like creating an akashic reader that uses technology to focus the power of psykers to read the source of all knowledge in the warp to gain information to advance knowledge. Or creating tech that amplifies and guards a character from warp born powers. Remember key point A.I. are not to be trusted, which goes along with creating any non-human intelligence machines are right out. (i.e. no binding daemons into a machine, as they become... unreliable)

Dark mechanicum - create a scrapcode virus that literally destroys all the knowledge in a temple of learning... burning out the computers, burns the books, and causes the reactor that powers the temple to overload, killing all the adepts that protect the knowledge. All the while laughing like a madman. Or bind the screaming twisting insane daemon into an engine of destruction and letting the pain and horror of this send it on a rampage.
