Do you negotiate almost exclusively, or do you like to fight in addition? Chapter 5 has several military updates that tilted the balance for me: upgraded Golem & Sorceress, adding Banshees, and - the big 'un - upgrades for the Training Grounds. It's possible research all the military upgrades and 2/3 of the squad size upgrades without researching the factory upgrades.
It also depends on which evolved buildings & set pieces you have. Several of mine (including Triumph of the Tides & a couple of the Pilgrims set pieces) change their output from T1 to T2 when upgraded to Ch. 5. (Of course, you don't HAVE to upgrade them. I'm leaving 2 of my Pilgrims set pieces at Ch. 4 for the T1 but upgrading ToT for T2.)
If you mostly negotiate & are fine with what your evolved & sets are producing, then I'd stay at ch. 4.
