I see your point, but I think 10-tech brings all the benefits that 15-tech does, just makes them less obvious than 15-tech. It still rewards players are careful with tech levels, just with extra resources to use elsewhere instead of added troop strength ^^Yeah, quite fond of 15 and 10-tech, for different reasons.
Pros for each.
10:
LC Rushing is godly.
Morale is heavily combatted by having higher levels than the defender.
15:
Rewards smart players who carefully allocate tech levels, specifically those who use HC in O and D.
I definitely prefer 10-tech as a solo pl;ayer, but think that 15-tech is more beneficial to well ran tribes where the whole tribe has the same tech levels and uses similar defenses.
Granted that all tribes would still be fighting with same troop strength regardless of being smart with research of researching all, but if well ran tribes using the same defences stick with limited techs, they would grow faster as a tribe. This effect may be cancelled out somewhat by single-packet nobles though I suppose, since the world speed and troop speed don't exactly leave you short on resources, but oh well
