Jurassic Marsh's premiums... They irk me. They aren't bad plants by any means. What makes me get angry at them, is the fact that they are direct upgrades to Cherry Bomb and Snapdragon, yet have the same sun cost as them. At least with Twin Sunflower, Primal plants, Winter Melon, Spikerock, etc, those are higher in sun cost. Grapeshot and Cold Snapdragon literally give you no reason to use Cherry Bomb and Snapdragon. The excuse that "they're premium" doesn't really work, as all plants should be balanced. One shouldn't completely trump another simply because it needs to be bought. All plants are unique, and even in the case of, say, Wall-nut and Primal Wall-nut, at least Wall-nut could still be worth using because of it's lower sun cost. I honestly feel Grapeshot should be 225 sun, and Cold Snapdragon should be 200, or have it's damage changed to 1 NDS.

TL;DR: I don't like that Grapeshot and Cold Snapdragon give you no reason to use Cherry Bomb and Snapdragon. I completely agree with you, this bothers me too. It's just how uncreative popcap can be by just making direct upgrades which are completely unbalanced. CS isn't an upgrade, it's a counterpart. No, it would be a counterpart if they could make a zombie that would work identically to Snapdragon. Then it would be zombie counterpart of it.
