Which probably negates mining 100 extra minerals for a few extra turns (even when you assume multiple facilities, if you have a net loss per facility, multiple facilities just compound the problem).
If you build the Miner II one turn before you build the Miner III, doesn't that mean you get 900 extra minerals precisely one turn early? Intuitively, that seems like enough minerals to offset the upgrade cost but I'd have to sit down and do that math.
