Point of lvl up beyond lvl 3 of Herbicide Squirter?

Meanwhile, a question: Is this herbicide squirter the equivalent of that cannon thing in that other event whose name I have already forgotten?

Yes - it certainly seems so, but the crafting currency increases are randomly mixed. I'm going to see if I can keep it at a low level and still collect enough crafting items (it levels up with corn and DNA). I want to get a lot of DNA so I might stop leveling up at Level 5 or 8.

Too much going on in this event to really fathom it out!
