Or both! There's no reason not to do 2+ eyebeam powers. You could have the current version (hopefully buffed), plus an Energy Builder, plus a chargeable cone version.
The reason lots of Tier 0 powers are viewed as weak, is they are built so that a level 1 character can use them, which means they have to have lower Energy costs than later Tiered powers. We're not particularly happy with the fact that lots of T0 powers are just completely discarded by many players later, and we have some ideas on how to fix that, but they aren't quick fixes.
It's actually good to hear that the state of T0's is in mind. I really hope that the time comes when T0's are genuinely worth holding onto. Some of them are already okay, but most just don't pass the acid test outside of concept. I want to use Force Blast, Fire Strike, Power Gauntlet, etc.. When tailoring a decent performing build, though, they usually go to the wayside. Discarding them can also make it more troublesome to progress your power picks the way you want.
I'd make suggestions, but I'm sure the development team already thought of them and more!

Like an Eye Cascade or something?

More like Optic Blast.
