Talking about analysis it is indeed all about looking at data from different angles. Two days ago I wrote a short article on Steemit (here] where I compared bitcoin with the "science" coins. In conclusion Gridcoin did a great job compared to Bitcoin but Foldingcoin did even better. In this case there seems to be a general interest in "science" coins.
I agree that the analysis can take a lot of time so it can be a limiting factor but it is better to start and do something than do nothing at all. This is why I teamed-up with @jringo for SotN and I'm would like to look at the info you presented above as well.
Hmm, just read your post and leave a comment there so I am not going to repeat everything, but you obviously did a good observation of few points that i totally missed.
