Adding LEADER (not used as a leader) zeta's just to boost power?

With so many zeta skills we do not use (GMY Lead, etc) is it worth putting in just to boost power?
(We can debate which zetas are good and bad elsewhere)

We they would be used on heroes I do use, just not in a leader fashion.
You're increasing power without increasing utility. That's only going to hurt you in TW, and waste your zetas.
How so? (seriously in TW, how so?)
Because you're increasing GP without gaining benefit. Honestly with the matchmaking it's probably not a concern, but in theory it's a bad idea.
I ask, because a while back I asked if bringing heroes up to boost GP was a bad idea overall, and it was said then that it wasn't?
It'll hurt you in TW and help you in TB. Your call, I guess.
To add to this, for both focussing on specific squads is by far the most beneficial. Well, it is in my humble opinion atleast.
A zeta doesn't add power to other categories. I.e. your toon will not be stronger, faster, etc. It will inflate gp with no benefit while that toon is not in leader slot. Literally no reason to do it whatsoever.
But when you add a zeta power is increased, the amount shown above the hero increases.
Right, but it's only a reflection of the zeta itself. No other categories are increased.
Power is a semi worthless stat. There's no difference in battling with/vs the exact same character with or without lead zeta if said character isn't in the lead spot, but the powerrating will be higher with the zeta.
Yes. So it unnecessarily inflates GP without benefit. You could then face stronger opponents because of it.
Doesn't a deeper power pool increase the numbers of a crit?
I thought that was based on the crit damage stat...
not the power pool itself.
Maybe mods are a good example of how "useless" the powerrating is. Mod sets don't add power (don't ask me why), so a character with all gold mk5 mods without a single complete set has just as high of a powerrating as that same character with an all gold mk5 tripple health mod set. However, with that tripple health set the character has +30% health. So statswise the character is objectively better with the tripple health set, but the powerrating hasn't changed at all.
The powerrating is just an indication of how good a character is, but not an accurate representation at all.
Interesting point. @JohnnySteelAlpha any XLS's on power and benefits from increasing it?
No, power is essentially unrelated to stats. The two are semi-correlated, in that increasing your stats will increase your power, but the reverse is not true. It's something of a tautology, but the only thing that increases your crit chance, are things that increase your crit chance - ie, gear.
In short, power is a reflection of your investment, it doesn't actually change anything.
So it's an effectiveness rating?
Basically. But not a good one.
No, it basically only shows how far progressed your character is. I'm struggling to find the right word, not a native speaker.
It's an investment rating. It shows how many resources you've invested in the character.
Not the word i was looking for, but yes.

As you can see here power is only determined by how much gear you can equip (all equal i believe), how many abilities a toon has and how many of those are zetas and omegas.
So the powerrating isn't even related to the stats of the character.
1st guy - +100 speed, CD set, CD triangle, health set.
2nd guy - +100 speed, speed set, offense triangle, health set.
3rd guy - +20 speed, 1 defense mod, 1 potency mod, 1 tenacity mod, 1 health mod, 1 speed mod, 1 crit chance mod.
I'd fight 3rd guy ten times in a row, and when not available, 2nd guy. But equal power.
