Sorry for skulking around the mod portal so often X3
This mod seems to do quite a bit more than just science overhaul; there's a lot of changes to the nuclear power tree, for some reason. Seems like science is a bit more complex overall (requiring more oil processing earlier on) but not as expensive (iron-hungry).
I might try this for my first modded playthrough, before stepping into bob's-angel's hardcore territory. Vanilla definitely eats all of my iron by the time I get to production packs, but my vast fields of oil are nearly untouched, which is just a bit annoying.
