Here is the math:
1,100,000 @ 800 = 1375 cb/mc =
2,400,000 @ 1600 = 1500 cb/mc = OR IF 30% off 2,400,000 @ 1120 = 2142 cb/mc
6,500,000 @ 4000 = 1625 cb/mc = OR IF 30% off 6,500,000 @ 2800 = 2321 cb/mc

Champions - CBill Sell value @ MC cost
SDR-5K(C) - 2636258 @ 1235 = 2134 cb/mc -BEST!
JR7-F(C) - 3067911 @ 1450 = 2115 cb/mc -BEST!
CDA-2A(C) - 3551523 @ 1600 = 2219 cb/mc -BEST! <---- TOP DEAL
BJ-1(C) - 3016837 @ 1695 = 1779 cb/mc - Better!
HBK-4P(C) - 1981946 @ 1800 = 1101 cb/mc
CN9-A(C) - 2075946 @ 1850 = 1122 cb/mc
DRG-5N(C) - 4066139 @ 2550 = 1594 cb/mc
CPLT-A1(C) - 2757257 @ 2790 = 988 cb/mc ------- OUCH!
CTF-3D(C) - 3115394 @ 4945 = 630 cb/mc ------- OUCH x2! <---- WORST
VTR-9S(C) - 5522115 @ 3725 = 1482 cb/mc
STK-3F(C) - 5822239 @ 3815 = 1526 cb/mc
HGN-733C(C)- 4367794 @ 4335 = 1007 cb/mc
AS7-RS(C) - 4983988 @ 4685 = 1063 cb/mc

Conclusion:
Purchasing a CDA-2A(C) for MC and selling it for c-bills is the most cost effective thing and significantly more cost effective than purchasing c-bills directly from the store in the "bundles".

I did more cost breakdowns with hero mechs and normal mechs. All normal mechs not on sale are between 1239 cb/mc and 1250 cb/mc. The variance is because PGI seems to ROUND to the nearest 5 after calculating the value.

Big Problem with you Math is your only looking at the buy price.

The CN9-A (C) Selling price is about $777,000.00 C-Bill make it about $420.00 C-bill per MC selling

Negative. I purchased and sold all of these mechs today. The prices listed are the actual selling prices in c-bills. Unless I made a typo, those are the exact values.

Well, at least it wasn't a Kit Fox (97.2 kph light with Locust armor!).

Disposable income. Plus I love shiny things! And... Mechs blowing each other up is awesome!

Its nice to see I'm not the only one who could solo field a battalion

Math is sound and in line with what I've calculated myself. I am in agreeance.

I don't advocate this.. (at all) but I suspect you're going to receive a lot of friendly fire if you get in the match with a Golden Timberwolf...
I don't think I've spent that amount on the game (if I have, it's just barely), let alone on a paint-scheme.

That is how you "swat" bugs.

nice skill tree listing, But this is a Mech Listing. As you can see the Selling Price for the Mech not the buying Price.

AND as you can see the CN9-9A(C) SELLING price is only $776,612 C-Bills

what about a hero mech at 50% off sale? Might be even better still?

Negative. When you actually click the "sell" button, it gives you options. When you sell the entire mech and equipment that comes with the STOCK Cicada champion, it sells for what I posted that it sells for. 3551523 cbills - which means... as I've indicated in my above post, for those of you slow to catch up... that when you SPEND 1600mc on a Cicada champion, you get to SELL it and all the equipment you just purchased for 1600mc for a total of 3551523cbills which means you traded mc for cbills at a rate of... wait for it... wait for it...

2219 cb/mc

Which is more efficient than the cbill bundles. Do the math mate. Or don't. I tested it all today by purchasing each champion, some heroes, and figuring it all out for you. Which is why I saved you the dollars and MC by posting my findings here.

Hero mechs are 75mc per ton. Regardless of the cbill value of their equipment. I haven't tested all of them yet, but so far it doesn't seem like they come anywhere close to 2200 cb/mc even when they are on sale for 50% off.
See this post for a more complete breakdown.

Also... and I'm surprised I just noticed this... but why are you asking about the CN9-9A(C)? I am talking about the CDA-2A(C). You know... the Cicada. Which I said here:
"CDA-2A(C) - 3551523 @ 1600 = 2219 cb/mc -BEST! <---- TOP DEAL"

Here is a screenshot to help you out.
