Actually I think the starting cash is VERY significant. Research biogenetics as your first tech, and you can have two recycling tanks in your first two bases by year 2107. This has a huge effect on your early game economy... that extra food can double your food production if you don't have any 2 food tiles. Morgan can expand much faster than any of the hybrid/builder factions because of this, Yang can come close but Morgan's research also helps in early expansion (IE having wealth as fast as possible)
Two free recycling tanks 10 years earlier essentially nets you the 60 minerals that you pay for with a rush buy and 60 factor of production points. That much turn advantage in the very early game can make a significant difference over the course of a game.
