Info: Armour decay

I was wondering on the best options for Armour, for new players and how eco they were, so I decide to put the armour decay formula into a spread sheet (ok, yes I was board). I am no mathematician and I'm still very new to Google Docs/Open Office so If you notice that I've made a mistake feel free to correct it, but please explain what you have done in this thread.

I have added a few options, yes I know there are others, but this is not about "Which Armour is best for Noobs" its about the economy and the formula and if my Spread sheet skills are up to the job

Spread sheet is here

There's a good chance that formula is obsolete.

Some references:
Did MA change the way armor works?
Increased damage from mobs after latest VU
Testing damage absorption on armor and plates after VU

The decay formula is not affected by that change and remains valid.

What I have yet to determine is how low damage is divided between armour and plate in cases of over-protection, which may affect the circumstances in which the minimum decay comes into play.
