In principle I agree with this, in practice I think it will make very little difference. The reason is that the gas price at the balance point is very low: if current_total=actual_total, then the cost of one 128 kb data blob would be 1 gas, which at today’s gas prices and Ether price comes to 0.01 cent (for comparison, current prices would be 2M gas, so two million times that). Even at the highest prices we have seen it would still be less than a cent for the whole blob. This pricing is so cheap that I can’t see it being an equilibrium point at any time after there is any significant use of data blocks, so I don’t think it’s necessary to complicate it with another constant.
