Also, the gou'ald have equal bonuses with the rest. Don't forget that when tau'ri sell their weapons for money, they lose lots of attack power, therefore greatly reducing their attack income and also causing them to lose lots of positions in the ranks.
to get level 14 or even 15 spy levels dont think you can do it with out having to give up ranks in attack and defense... I mean the top people are just hitting the ability to bank like 40mil naq in it... and level 15 is 88mil...
so what you are saying is that because replicators get a reduce cost in buying spy levels then Asguard and Tauri get the reduce cost as well? because they get 88% back for selling the guns? So you are making the replicators bonus worthless... let alone replicators 25% spy increase DONT show in the over all stats... like the Asguard and Tauri stats....
The fact that you get 88% back just makes EVERY perchise that much easier for you like unit upgrades as well...
As a Tauri and Asguard its really easy for you to argue about this benifit but as an Gou'ld and Replicator we see it as you getting the best of both worlds... cheaper tecnology upgrades as well as bigger bank accounts...
