Believe me, I pay attention to the games. Don't lecture me on "research". I say Saren wanted it because he's the only reaper mouthpiece (besides the Star-Kid) to desire a synthesis like state. And Saren was indoctrinated for the entirety of Mass Effect 1, making it hard to separate what he wanted and what Sovereign convinced him of.
