That's where I found the a formula if anyone feels like poking around. My math curriculum didn't cover rank 2 polynomes (quick google didn't help, feel like I should be able to read it but alas) so I was SOL, hehe. Also couldn't launch the crafting simulator linked in that post (needed Web 2.0 or something) to determine if it was accurate, either.
I've actually been using that simulator as well for rotations but didn't notice the Touch Calculator bit (the reason I used http://xivsim.x0.com/ was because that's the one Aphraell linked earlier!)
You're right, it more or less agrees with the first few touches but the later touches were getting substantially more:

Basic #1: 118
Basic #2: 137
Basic #3: 157
Basic #4: 176
Basic #5: 196
Standard: 541
Blessing: 1658
=2983

2983-2921=62 Surplus (which would be enough to weather a poor on the 1st Touch with 340 Control!)

(Incidentally the web 2.0 sim is a bit buggy, it keeps crashing on me occasionally whenever I use Waste Not 2... but unlike http://xivsim.x0.com/ Ingenuity usually wears off whenever it's supposed to!)
