Hmm... replying to myself again (tut tut), anyway, I recalculated the
costs, I think something when wrong the first time (again)

Revised Matter Transmitter Costs:

For all grades, the MASS is 3 times the class:

Basic (Range=12): Cost = 4 times MASS

Enhanced (Range=24): Cost = 8 times MASS

Superior (Range=36): Cost = 16 times MASS

(I might reduce the MASS to twice the class, and increase the cost
multipliers accordingly).
-or should I increase the ranges (say by +6mu or +12mu) with a cost
increase?
