In WHAT cases will the AEG be better than the PTW? Because I've built dozens of REALLY REALLY good AEGs, and they still don't outperform my PTW.

Let's narrow performance down to these categories: range, accuracy, rate of fire, trigger response; as these are the most practical categories during a airsoft game. Please, add others as these are the ones that are on the top of my head.
Range: a R-hop can be installed in AEGs easily. R-hops increase range immensely, such as allowing 1 J guns to shoot effectively over 60 m.
Accuracy: A polished / lapped Prometheus barrel combined with a R-hop, probably as accurate as you can get with spherical ammo.
Rate of Fire: Using just a 7.4v LiPo, a DSG/13:1 gear set and a good neodymium motor both allow a gun to shoot at 30 RPS.
Trigger Response: Switch the battery to a 11.1V (of course, along with a MOSFET) in the setup above, and the trigger response should be in the milliseconds. An advanced mosfet, such as the BTC Chimera or BTC Spectre, will even give normal AEGs an hair trigger (which can also be achieved without the mosfet, but is much easier with one)
These are the most high end upgrades though (ex: $100 for DSG, $100 for MOSFET, $50 for Lonex motor), but similar performance is still obtainable on a budget (ex: $25 for 13:1, $15 IRF3034 FET, $25 SHS motor). Even PTWs require upgrades parts in order to run smoothly too, such as a FCC motor and circuits.
