Rams/Ballistas Level 3

Is there much point researching rams and ballistas to level 3?
I have run a few basic simulations with troops and a level 25 wall and there does not appear to be a significant difference in the number of troops lost or the reduction of the wall/building for level 1 vs level 3.

Can you elaborate?
I am saying there doesn't appear to be a significant difference.

Rams and ballistas are only effective with a lot of troops.
If your troops are wiped out in the attack, so will your siege and they will barely make a dent. It will result in an epic fail.
As far as leveling up your siege weapons. I think it's better to have the 300-400 rams and 300 ballistas at level 2 and then have your guardians/knights and or berserkers at level 3.
I don't find it necessary to build your siege weapon to level 3 when the most important factor is your troops

Thank you Goldnagger this is precisely the type of response I was looking for and confirms what the battle simulations were suggesting.
I hazard a guess that it would be worth a gamble on having siege units at entry tier and allocating the points elsewhere for a greater combined attack combo.
