I dont have access to your numbers so I cant prove it.
With the deadtime your bpo's spend in queues, the wasted time on extra ME research and lab costs I'd guess you are simply mathematically challenged, not an astute business person.
The time my bpo spends in research (both ME, copy, and queue)is equal to the time it takes for me to sell all the BPC's I make each cycle. It takes 4 BPC sales to recoup the cost of copy cost and ME research cost.
Where is the math challenge? If it takes 3 days for you to sell your 15ME BPC it takes me 1.5 days. I sell more BPC's in the same amount of time it take you to sell half my numbers.

LOL if you where to buy an me100 bpc off escrow over an me10-20 for a noticably bigger amount of isk, then youve not got your head on.
Please read all of my post.

I sell high ME BPC's (50-100) but at the same price (or lower) than the 15ME BPC's
Again I ask why would anyone pay 1 million isk for a 15ME BPC when they can buy my 100ME BPC at the same price? If you choose the 15ME BPC then then youve not got your head on.
The thing is, this is not how the BPC (especially the escrow) market works at the moment. The BS that are profitable (hint, not scorp and apoc) are starting to become VERY hard to find on escrow, so it is almost never a case of going "hmm, 10 ME or 100 ME Tempest BPC", but a case of going "omgwtf, the only Domi BPC, buy buy buy".
Soon, it will not matter that you have 100 ME BPC, as they wont sell any faster than 10ME BPC - because all of both, if at a decent price (less than 4m, now!) will be snapped up faster than you can copy them, by far.
BPC makers should stop research at 20, max, and then get churning out BPC, because the sooner they get enough profit to buy another BPO, and another, the sooner they can increase BPC supply and stabilise the prices, which are increasing rapidly, as well as doubling and tripling their own profit.
Only when the BPC market slows RIGHT down, does ME (and eventually PL) make a difference to buyer's choices, because at the moment, manufacturers without their own BPOs (most own 1-2, not all 8) are desperate for more supply, not more choice between a limited supply.
