I... honestly can't explain that math. It's something that will certainly have to be looked at and corrected.
Let's just look at the rule and use a different example
New example: After a big score, Sammy the Samurai wants to go from Wired Reflexes 2 (Used grade) to snazzy Wired Reflexes 3 (Alphaware). The book price for what he's got is 75,000 (wired reflexes 2 costs 150,000, but used grade is half that). What he wants costs 300,000, including the alpha grade multiplier. The difference between the two is 300,000-75,000=225,000. Sammy the Samurai spends 225,000 to upgrade his used Wired Reflexes 2 to alpha grade Wired Reflexes 3.
The 30% value function factors in when you're doing different kinds of augmentations, rather than the same augmentation of new rating and/or grade. Dermal plating and Titanium Bone Lacing, in that example.
