Useless upgrades?

Useless upgrades? - Elderly man standing and information behind that he is not needed anymore

This is for BTD5, BTD Battles and Bloons Monkey City.

So, there are some upgrades, for example Technological Terror on the Super Monkey, that seem the same at 0/4, 1/4 and 2/4 upgrade layouts.

Usually I upgrade first to Plasma Blasts and then to Technological Terror, but is it the same if I upgrade only the 2nd path? Does it have to do anything with popping power or something? Or is it just a waste of money?

This goes also for Ray Of Doom on the Dartling Gun, and maybe some other towers I forgot to mention, but these are towers that I actually use, so that will do.

So, do these upgrades that seem useless at first affect attack speed, popping power or something like that?
