Cannot say I know, but my guess is that it is multiplicative. Not sure if the name of the amp is important, but it would make sense if an increase in cost gives a corresponding increase in gain. I.e. for a 101 amp that costs half the corresponding bomb/probe would increase the gain by 50% - i.e a 5ped find would instead be a 7.5ped find. If that is true, the efficiency numbers does not make sense, though. Not that all other numbers make perfect sense...
Would be nice to hear an experienced miners view on this. There have been some discussion in other threads, but...
