Nevermind, I quickly did it up...
Essence per pack with a rare or above (3*, 4*, 5*):
Gold: 20,294
Silver: 14,500
Bronze: 17,625
@Erogenous Jones
You can't simply say essence per 4* or 5* (IMO), since it is more generally a rare (3*) and above, with enhanced chances for 4* and 5* as you move up in pack cost. Yes, it is a good estimation... but looking at all rarity combined above the rare-threshold gives a better representation of what one can expect with regards to rare and above... which is the general sticking point with the packs.
Guys, seriously... if there is a thread or a post around here that you don't like... leave it be. Spreading hate and trolling people has no place in this community. Certain people may have been in the wrong, but when you troll or hate on them you get in the wrong too. Don't prolong it or add to it; let it go. If it is blatant trolling, a misplaced thread or anything that violates the ToS, report it and move along. Don't feed the trolls and don't add to the hatred. This is a nice, clean and happy community. Please, don't dirty it.

Fair enough, and I have updated the spreadsheet commensurately.
Surprisingly enough, it doesn't make my decision on which Packs to buy any easier really.
Yeah, I could buy Gold Packs and have an excellent shot at a Rare, and the odds of Rare or Better are admittedly better in Golds than in the others (Silver is pretty small sampling...), but when you look at the E Cost, especially for Legendary (which I still don't have one of), Bronze looks like the better bet.
I've got 90k E hoarded, and
theoretically, based on these results, if I were to spend it all on Bronze Packs, I'd get one, despite the lower odds vs Gold.
