Speaking for myself, I consider magic 3 a no-brainer.
I don't, since it has severely diminishing returns over magic 2.

I'm also referring to Dominions I, where there was more than twice as much gold in the economy.

We are talking an average of six TIMES less research per mage.
You can always use owl quills on dwarves.

Even the best researcher is a full four TIMES worse. Yes, if you have four times as much gold, this may make sense, but you will not.
A better comparison would be to look at magic 2 vs. magic 3, and to include the purchase price where you'll notice that the difference is very small.
