I've played the SupComm demo and I loved it! (well, ok, I liked it - I've been playing TA spring recently and with SupComm it was nice to play something TA-esque, in 3D, that I didn't have to fight with to make work).
Interestingly enough, the thing you single out as your major criticism is what I particularly liked about it. I like my strategy games to last a long time and with a fast-paced game like Starcraft it was a struggle to make the game last a reasonable amount of time without blatantly porcing* in my own base and then breaking out when I felt like finishing the game.
Mind, the demo is a bit limited - there's only one single player map for skirmishes.
That said, I probably won't be buying the full version any time soon - I had to put the quality settings right down on the demo and even then the graphics weren't smooth so I don't think it's worth buying when my computer can't run it properly anyway. I'll probably buy it in a few years when I have a new computer and I can pick the game up for £10 (this from the guy who only bought Homeworld2 a few weeks ago).
For reference, my 'just-good-enough-to-run-it' computer is an Athlon64 3200+, 1GB RAM & ATi X800XL (256MB)
