Price goes up exponentially, past 100 it's cheaper to chug paut than to use increasingly large stones, and a 1,000 energy enchantment winds up at around 30k (which is better than 33k for S&S, but probably not enough better to bother creating the circle).
I didn't model the effects of mana levels; if you have access to high or very high mana warehouses, you reduce base rental cost by 50 or 75%, but then have to add an additional charge for the fact it's probably more expensive to rent space in high or very high mana areas (if it's an extra dollar a day in high mana, you want to use a high mana warehouse above 250 energy).
