Best calculation of Interest Coverage Ratio

The Interest Coverage Ratio is typically defined as EBIT/Interest Expense, with a ratio of less than 1 considered a sign of poor financial health

I was thinking whether it would be better to use Net Interest Expense rather than Interest Expense since some companies have a sizable interest income? This would provide a more accurate financial picture in my opinion; does my logic make sense?
