Default [RPM] Shrinking a Planet?

So the question came up in our game how much it would cost to shrink something using RPM. The question turned a little silly when we started to wonder how much it would be to shrink an entire planet.

I did a little math and it seems that the answer is not much at all.

Am I wrong that with a single Greater Transform Matter effect, you could shrink the earth down to nothing for less than 200 energy?

I'm figuring this out as:

Greater Transform Matter (8) + Weight (6,500 quintillion tons, 50 energy) = 174 energy.

Now you could argue that you need an altered trait in there, but size reduction is usually a 0 point feature. You could argue that you'd need 50 levels of Shrinking to pull this off, but even then you're not increasing the cost that much, and it still doesn't change the fact that you can turn the earth into a donut or salt, etc. for cheap.

I might be a little off on my math, but I don't think so, and it shouldn't be more than a few points off.

What have I missed, or is it really this easy?
