don't you think you are better than emot? Like in Chadders vs Harthor, it was clear Chadd thought he was playing against a higher skill and higher stakes opponent so it was clear that he should be given odds. Here you two play the same stakes and you have already said you think you're higher skill level, so 1-1 should be fine.
Notice that community sidebetting is completely different because it is demand based--all that matters is making a bet that two ppl agree too and the way to do that is to give odds and make a line. Obviously people will be more likely to bet on emot because he's been posting in the husng forum longer so ppl have seen him around more and he has more exposure and reputation so it makes sense to have odds on the sidebetting. But this should have no bearing on the bet between you two since that is not based on pure demand but also on you two actually playing it out and so it should have to do with your personal assessments of your own games. You two both seem to think you're better, so 1-1 is the only odds that are fair.
Fwiw you should be happy to have 2p2 laying 2-1 odds on emelio since you can bet against someone at an even more favorable odds knowing that in fact you are the favorite and you're printing money by getting 2:1 or whatever. So that should be a win not a loss for you--you win by 2p2s ignorance.
