Of course each transit agency should.
What I was taking exception with is that it takes special conditions such as tunnels or high altitude for EMU's to make sense.
If you plan on running high frequency commuter rail at some frequency (each city will have a different break even point) it will make sense to use EMUs. Provided of course you can on that track.
