I realized that you were calculating something entirely different, How long until the Entbrat at level X pays for the total cost of treats to feed him to level X. This is a somewhat useful metric, but makes higher levels seem like a much better investment than they are since you also mix in the gains from lower levels.

In contrast, by comparing level-by-level, you ignore the obvious investments of the lower levels and answer the much more important question of: at monster level X, should I invest more into it?
