Safe garden spray vs one that works

Near Kansas City, MO(Zone 6a)

Has this happened to you - any ideas - opinions?

This summer our tomatoes suffered a bout of some kind of blight and I sprayed them with some 'safe" copper based spray.which temporarily stopped the problem, but as soon as it rained the blight came back. After another go around and more damage I decided I needed more fire power, so I went to the local store and got some Captan, Malathion and Carbaryl, spray, which finally stopped it.

I will say it pained my organic side, it's better than losing everything.

Cleveland,GA/Atlanta, GA(Zone 7b)

Maybe better to drop a bomb than accurately diagnose the problem?
