Ah, there it is.

"Ablative and reactive armour each cost an additional 10% of the VSP per
level of Armour; eg.: Armour 2R costs 60% of the CSP in total."
So the above line:
Armor class 5, Ablative 		    25 : 53	     25     53

Should read:
Armor class 5, Ablative 		    25 : 62	     25     62
Which pushes this:
Fusion Generation Plant 		    25 : 62	     25     99
Fast tracked				    25 : 62	     25    131

etc.
Total tank cost of 627... Pricey.
