I've been reading old pages for answers, but its difficult to find reports which compare the 2 places. Since I'm not based in S'Pore anymore, its not a 1 hr ferry for me to Batam, and I"m not sure if its worthwhile to try here instead of my usual hunting grounds in Jakarta.
Some questions I would have are:
1. Gal Looks Quality in Batam vs. Jakarta (generally, but me boobs man!)
2. MP quality/pricing comparison (Anything comparable to Malioboro/Alexis)
3. Atmosphere/attitude of places? Batam more relaxing/laid back?
4. Hotel/Transport/Restaurant prices
Again, glad to up your points for your opinion answers. Cheers all!

1) Jakarta got better looking ones and more SYT. Here more older stock.
2) Octopus, Delta, Altalanta, Newton ( all these are higher ends which have better ones, but more expensive than others)
3) Batam is more for uncles from Singapore. More relaxing and laid back, yes, easier to travel from place to place unlike Jakarta, so machid.
4), Definitely cheaper. Food wise, so much cheaper than Jakarta, especially if you go to kelong makan.
Hope this helps
