No, it increases the trade-offs I have to make, but it reduces the time I can focus on one area if I want, thus reducing my options.
Huh? My proposal wouldn't affect how long you can focus on one tech at all. Hmm, maybe I used the wrong word there. By "losing" I meant "wasting". Investing 100% in one tech area would only add 75% of your research points for the turn to your progress in that tech, but would have absolutely no effect at all on your research rate in later turns. You could spend up to 50% on each tech and get the full value of your research points, but each 1% more than that would only give .5% more progress. Keep in mind that these numbers are only for example purposes; personally, I would prefer an even lower limit for getting full value and a graduated system where the portion of each extra percentage point that gets wasted increases as the total percent allocated to the field increases.
Which would mean that if I try to research one at a time, I'll fall behind.
