How would different home planets be balanced, an idea

Ok so lets say we give each race different home planet, there would be benefits and drawbacks to each.

Tec - Terran - Benefit: more population possible with upgrade

Advent - Desert - Benefit: More possible Logistics, additional extractor!(Desert homes have 4)  Drawback: Fewer population possible

Vasari - Volcanic - Drawback: Fewer population, Fewer logistics, NO CRYSTAL

As is Vasari would get the shaft, the extra extractor is actually a boost for desert, making it superior as you don't need to spend resoruces to upgrade the population.

To make Vasari more balanced with the otehr starts, I would add a NEUTRAL CRYSTAL EXTRACTOR to their home planet, perhaps even 2! or just one and have it start with 4 metal extractors so that the income would be on par withthat of a terran home.

What you guys think? Woudl this be balanced? Is the Desert a bit too good with the 4th extractor?
