For me in the early to mid game the Item World is more for collecting Specialists than for levelling up the item. You will get better class items as you play through various means (Assembly Bills, buying through shops -- i.e. increasing customer rank, stealing, etc.) so it's usually not worth it to try and level some mundane item.
But in this version there are no statisians and armsmaster don't show up until later, and the rest of them don't really seem worth the effort.  I found out last night you can move baliffs so that makes leveling items even more worthwhile (besure to throw in stacks of of characters).

I picked up Disgaea 2 yesterday despite being broke as a joke. I played a bit and it was good, but I don't find myself as taken with it as I was with FFT so far. I wish they'd explain exactly what each of those weapon/armor properties meant so I didn't have to "try out" every piece of equipment to see if it was better or worse.
The stats are explained in the manual.

Also, in what world is this game's music good? I'm only about 10 battles in and I'm half tempted to mute it. The English dub isn't too hot, and the Japanese voice acting annoys me like most Japanese voice acting does.
The combat music is not good. At least it changes for some of the special battles.

I typically try pretty hard to not gush over new games, but I can't help it with Disgaea 2.  I picked it up Monday and already have 14 hours logged.  I'm not kidding when I say this may be one of my favorite games to date, I Just can't get enough.  The story, the characters, the humor, it's all great.

I picked this and DQ8 up in a fit of boredom on Monday and I could not be happier with both.  And to think I almost put my ps2 in the closet a few months ago...

I started this today.  I don't know what the hell I'm doing.

Edit:  I've played for over 3 hours now and I still don't know what the hell I'm doing.

I finally beat it this weekend.  The last chapter is wicked, the stages really make you stop and think before you start throwing guys onto the map. 

The strange thing is I have no desire to stop playing even after finishing the story mode.  There is still a bunch of stuff to do.  I know for a fact there are at least 2 optional worlds to mess around with and I still haven't seen the highest item ranks.  I never thought I'd be this hopelessly addicted to a game I have already beat.

I'm a big NIS fanboy. I liiked D2 a lot. and made it to Cave of Ordeals level 4 (I think, its been a while) but I ran out of steam before getting the map pieces to unlock - er, whatever world they unlock. Typically, NIS has wacky and unusual mechanics (like throwing a stack in D2, or throwing people OOB in MK, or temporarily incarnating spirits into items, as in PB- all this I like a lot, and I like their sense of humor. The downside for me is that story mode is only a small part of the game, and is easy, while unlcoking the extras can take a lot of repeition. So I usually stop and replay the story  second time, trying to see how few hours played it takes to get through. In fact seeing this thread has given me an itch to go for a third D2 run- or should I go for a third MK? hmm....
