In the game mentioned in thread Monster AI, the Clays were getting 40m per COLONY in every system that had a level III replicant center. Over 10 BILLION new pop per turn until the domed colonies filled up. So YES the replicant center alone is worth selecting organic tech. It may however be reduced as too powerful at some time in the future...
