Finance centers and mining as a priority do increase the output of a mine, so the actual break-even point lies at a higher amount of roids. There are other considerations to take into account. Mining can help balance your income over the different resources to your need. The downside of mining is that it costs research now and then (which will mean postponing another research).

It's not such an easy choice after all. I think I will start building them around the 500 roid mark (or later depending on any inbalance in my income).
