You need to factor in "Sacred." It reduces upkeep by 50%, so I would make it multiplicative (x1.5 to x1.75). I would certainly pay 1.5x to get "sacred" on a mage that will be around for a while, and that doesn't even include bless effects (air shield, lightning resistance, quickness, reinvigoration, twist fate... wow!)
As I found out in an earlier analysis, sacred commanders have no cost increase over other commanders. At least, those that are priests have absolutely no cost increase over other commanders. The rare few that are not priests probably do have a cost increase.

It's rather counter-intuitive, but every single priest's cost would skyrocket if you added an extra 50% to his cost.

Really. Just tote up the magic costs on any mage out there, add 30, and you'll see that there's no extra charge for sacred commanders. I believe the Shaman is the sole exception.

As a counter-example, I offer the Daughter of Avalon.
