Another downgrade to some stats are the paladin and Elite Chu Ko Nu upgrades, which both make the unit attack slower. For the paladin this is neglectable. For the Elite Chu Ko Nu, it can be very tricky and heavily dependent on the situation.

IIRC when halbs and camels that lack the final defense upgrade, the regular CKN kills them faster if they have all upgrades.Furthermore both the regular and elite version need 3 volleys to kill a villager and the regular CKN has a faster attack. However in most cases the Elite version kills the enemy unit faster. The Elite version is overal better than the regular version, but in many cases the difference is not as big as you might think. In most cases, if you have to choose betweeen rocketry and the elite upgrade, I favour rocketry.
