Default Ship research

Just wondering if anybody likes the way ship hull research is handled now or back in SEIV better. I was thinking about it and it almost seems to me better, if you got the basic 2 (maybe even 3) lvls all at once. For example, you currently have to research light hulls about 5 times before you get a medium hull. But what about right in the begining you can research medium or even large hulls. The only problem being that the begining hulls for each thing (with the exception for light) really suck.
1st lvl frigate=120 kt
2nd lvl frigate=160 kt
1st lvl light crusier= 140 kt
2nd lvl light cruiser=200kt
So basically you can start off making your cruisers top of the line, but then, if someone went with light hulls then they'll have the obvious numerical advantage. I like how you can research a hull type more then once to get a better hull, but I think it takes too long to get to the bigger ships with the current system. Of course, I suppose this could be changed and you change the lvl at which you get the hulls, but I just want to see some opinions on this.
