This would explain those annoying times when I've temporarily raised my research from 0 to whatever % is needed to gain a tech level in two fields and found that somehow I'd miscalculated by a small amount and bolloxed up my perfect plan by having to wait an extra year doing a measly 3 resources worth of research for the second tech. Twisted Evil

Also the choice of whether or not to choose @3 becomes balanced against what order you plan to do your researching in since the 1.75/0.5 multiplier is applied to the total techs component along with the base cost.
ie from all tech L0 researching:(without rounding)
L1 exp then L1 cheap would cost 87.5 + 30 = 117.5
vs L1 cheap then L1 exp would cost 25 + 105 = 130

At higher tech levels this can only get worse.
