I think i will opt for option 1, the one of 2 Lvls (+ 1,5 and 3).
Why? Basically because of resource reasons. Imagine Lvl-1 lab costing 500M. Then, L2 1500 (3x L1) and L3 lab 4500 (3x L2). At L1 we would have solars and mexxes. It would be a normal strech to L2. But we would only have mohos at L3, meaning we would have to make a huge strech until reaching L3. We would probably have to resort to lots of metal makers in the mean time which would be kind of doable but i only have solars (and wind and tidal equivalents, and ocasional Geos) which could mean unmaintainably large fields of solars to buy our way to L3.
If mohos are available already at L2, that means that either they produce too much for L2 or too little when we would reach L4~5.
I could work around it by making an intermediate level of metal extraction, for example using the model of the underwater Mex. It would solve it partially but we would still need more energy (although not as much as without intermediate mexxes) until we had fusions, for which i don't have much options.
Now with option 1, 2 Lvls only, i will run into some other problems.
- Too much tech at each Lvl. In one of the tests, i think NOIZE, complained about too much turrets available which all loocked moderatly the same. There is 6 ground turrets. Although he does play AA which has 8 ground turrets and he ain't complaining
(nor anyone else), so i don't think that is a major problem.
- Fitting the Lvl-1,5 units will be a bitch, i bet. They are the hovers and the subs and they have VLaunch.
- Too much technology gain at one single upgrade. Mohos, Fusions, BBs, lots of unit variety when upgrading to L2... That jump may prove too benefitious. This is actually my major concern.
