Now with master computers (lvl 5).
massive base 5000 kt:
40 kt used, 0.8% of hull used for c&c comps
6000/21000/4000, total 31000
6.2 resources/kt used for hull and c&c comps
Comparision: 1.0-6.2/9.65 = 0,55 (55% better ratio for massive base). Now, who in their mind will use LS/CQ for research bases?
Yes with small bases you get your research immediatly, but it worth to wait 5 turns to get 16% more research for the same price (building time).
Edit: with tweaked SY rate massive base can be built in 4 turns.

Yep, I've made a mistake (as always) with calcs for massive bases, sorry.
Costs:
Massive astral base - 5000/20000/0
1 AC V - 1000/1000/4000
12 research labs V (you can't put more on 5000 kt base) - 3200/0/0 x12 = 38400/0/0
Result - minerals: 38400+1000+5000 = 44400; org: 20000+1000 = 21000; rads: 0+0+4000 = 4000
Total - 44400/21000/4000
Maint. ~ 5700/2700/500
And you still can easily support 4 bases (48 labs) with 1 resource planet, so my conclusion is true.
