nothing 'replaces' nothing. any investment had some hidden stat attached, if you make that 'buy' you take the full effect of it. in the megail route you need a processor, a manufacturer and a supplier for gaining the equipment needed for the army. you can have already all of three (mine process, premium steel and megail gift), or have none. because you need at least one for each type megail can 'reserve' some pron for doing the missing, if you don't have the premium steel investment 25000 ProN will be 'reserved' for the estruin processor, if the other hand, you had already made the investment that money will be pooled in the amount you can invest freely (read like 'dwarf embassy').

the change in the secret stat isn't the most important factor to make or not that investment, but the ROI. because the stats are weight often inversely proportional to the usefulness of that investment (a consolation prize, you can say. like the +20 carina rp for funding the shrine)

for example premium steel I is 20K (in a section you had 80K/95K), it gives 100K in the reunion and lower the price of full ownership of 25K and only free 25K in the megail path. the bank or the mine cost 25K, they already pay dividends before the reunion the bank 5K at the start of chapter two, and 5K/10K in the megail route, the mine 10K in the megail route. the return is 200K  for both in the reunion round. and the mine free 50K in the megail path.

i think the most important thing is join the merchant guild in the ardford summit section, and you need 1M of pron for doing this, so if you want make some investment in yhilin the goal is make the investment with the highest ROI during the reunion (this mean bank, with trin, mine wiht megail and the bridge)
