    Not that I can see other than higher chance of purple, which is kind of defeated by the upgrade system.

    Not really atm, but who knows about the future?

    I've got all but 3 schools up to and over level 15, I'm obviously still leveling these and I will continue to level the others also.

    For components and upgrade kits, it also increases your chance to get 3 (components) respectively 2 (upgrade kits) from one project. And of course it's cheaper to bring a VR item to UR then an UC item...

    Only for the specialty items. Anything else, the best way is to craft a Mk II and then upgrade it.

    Nor should they be. Their ships would look weird.

    Well considering how much it costs to set off the daily research projects, I don't see any problems pushing on to level 20. But that being said my two main crafters between them are running all the schools in two sets, my other 5 toons will only be running schools that benefit their particular attributes such as beams, engineering ect. and will stop once they hit level 15 purely for the space/ground traits they offer. If Cryptic want me to push onwards and upwards to level 20 on them, then they're going to have to sweeten the pot a little. No scratch that cryptic will have to hand me the honey pot!
    Oh, it's not broken? We can soon fix that!

    nope. its cheaper to craft mk ii and upgrade than craft xii and upgrade. besides mk ii are almost free to craft, just few common materials. so its much much cheaper ro craft mk ii with desired mods than to craft mk xii with desired mods.

    and ec expensive, because you will want to use the smallest upgrades to increase the chance of the quality proc
