ya, I think that's the simplest solution. After playing with it if you find a lot of people doing a 1st round 2nd marker pass and the 2nd marker often ends up bottlenecked behind the 1st then I'd opt for the one extra requirement of doing a research if they passed.I think #3 should work out fine in practice--it is easy to imagine situations with it being disadvantageous compared to player without the variant, but I think the likelihood of those situations coming up is rare enough to not be worth trying to fix by complicating the rules further.
