I suspect that CC and M9M are actually agreeing in this case...

No benchmark is perfect, and rarely do they survive contact with the enemy, but this one is 'the least bad we have'.

It somewhat overvalues the 'all expense except W' races - because the other tech requirements are pretty low - it's not a bad ship design, but compared with ships in other eras it does make 'five expensive' research much more attractive than it should be.

Note that the 3.5 cheap tech gets a 55% boost in terms of the long game (the Omega Nubian example) but has to survive through the lower boost in the early game...
This is one of the perpetual balances of the game IMHO - but it's worth being aware of what it is you are testing with any test bed.

In this case the expensive tech needs to buy something reasonably significant in a long game - like 55% more resources, call it 30% to account for the earlier periods of lower differential.
