Hi!
If you'd lower PGR just by 1%, you could take 3-immune, where ALL planets would be 100%, no bio research would be needed (bio expensive and no TT), the ramp-up speed would be about the same, and you could afford mine eff 15, thus giving you a bit more edge against other PRTs.
BR, Iztok

I think the benefit of the 2i is that it is quicker early on.
(i.e. more pop. This would be more of a benefit with a 1/1000 pop setting, but that's a different topic.)
Put simply, only colonise planets with a hab of 85% and better.
This might sound like a restriction but for your hab scheme it is still better than 1 in 4 and so is not a problem early on.
You don't even need to do the terra on these planets until later.
Terraforming will have more effect on the planets in the 41% - 75% range and you can colonise and terraform those after you've established your empire with the bigger planets first.
The main problem will be diplomacy.
Normally a low-growth HE can offer all the central planets to other players. With this scheme you want all the central temp planets yourself. This makes it slightly harder for you to buy allies.
