Wow! that's some precise information there. Looks like Oin will need a hex editor to get back down to spellcasting range (Dwarves never liked magic much anyhow).

One thing I'm not clear on: what's so special about SPI of 10? According to your formula, a SPI of say 11 would give you 130 mana points at level 2, a SPI of 10 would give you 120 at level 2, and a SPI of 8 would give you 100. Not a big spread. At Level 20 these same SPI's would give you 310, 300, 280 respectively. Etc. Because they climb arithmetically, not exponentially, the gap never increases. So I agree with the first half of your assertion, that SPI is not important, but I'm not sure that I agree that it's important to have at least an SPI of 10. Am I missing something? Could you elaborate?
