Do the math. Even before the patch, the higher level buildings are barely worth it. If you look at the increase in income from the higher level buildings versus their costs, it would take 30-50 game turns to pay it back. If you're a min-maxer, it's only worth it to build one of the higher level buildings, to access the techs that they unlock.
