Yeah, teraforming is quick for narrow hab, but think about second hab. What you are saying is true only when second hab (there is wide range) is close to 100%. Only then you will get 4% teraforming. However, because second hab is wide, you will get large variety of teraforming power. If take into account 2 main things: terafoming power depends on hab%, and wide range is _wide_, so you will have a lot of planets which have hab on wide range off of center, you would have not very good teraforming at start most of the time. With both habs average, it is interchangable. If you have one hab on the edge and another a bit closer to center, you have MUCH better starting hab% compare to narrow+wide in average.

Also, for narrow range you would not use your teraforming possibilities completely. When colonizing yellow planet for which you have 100% for wide habitability and -5 for narrow (to make use of the rest 5 teraformings of thous 15% teraforming you have), you get only 25% of resources. With average habs, above case always means 41% or better hab, so it is possible for you to use up all your +-15% teraforming possibility a bit quicker and more effectively.

With equal habitability ranges, it appears you will always use +-15% teraforming possibilities completely, and most of the time you will have better starting planets at start and far better at the end.
