I think we may end up toning it down to 1/2/3 points for a victory rather than 1/3/5 if we continue to feel this way.

I wouldn't tone down the military points any. Just get a bit more experience, and a feel for how the different elements come together for a really big score. You can completely ignore military, and come away with a win. You can also invest just enough to keep your neighbors honest and even sneak in a victory chit or two, if they take you for granted. There are a number of threads regarding this on the Seven Wonders forum on BGG. Check them out, I think the game is pretty well balanced.
