Array summation issues

Hey guys,

I'm trying to sum an array but the result is just the first value of the array. The code it pretty complex but here it is:
Code:
{=INDEX(B11:B16,MATCH(SMALL(B11:B16/C11:C16,ROW($A$1:INDIRECT("A"&$B$9))),(B11:B16/C11:C16),0))}  [I](Ctrl+Shift+Enter)[/I]
This part works fine, it forms a cell with an array of two numbers {2.5,3.5}. The issue arises when I try to sum them to get the value of 6. This is what I'm trying to do:
Code:
{=SUM(INDEX(B11:B16,MATCH(SMALL(B11:B16/C11:C16,ROW($A$1:INDIRECT("A"&$B$9))),(B11:B16/C11:C16),0)))}  [I](Ctrl+Shift+Enter)[/I]
This results in the same array, {2.5,3.5}. Now I've checked the following to code to see if it's possible and I did in-fact get a value of 6:
Code:
{=SUM({2.5,3.5})}
Aside from expanding the array into two cells and summing the two cells, I can't get it to sum the two numbers. It seems to be summing each individual value in the array, any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks!
