This discussion is most influencial on early game.

Miniturization can sometimes more than make up for the costs in research. Stuff like starbases, minelayers, battlecomputers, and chaff get cheaper if your lowest tech bio goes up.

As a side note, if you sprint through several techs and some are cheap and some are expensive, doing the expensive ones first is cheaper... each existing tech adds cost of 5 (50%) to cheap tech but 17.5 to an expensive tech.
