Will home miners forced out still use Bitcoin or would they start following some alt they could mine?
If it all comes down to a few big miners, why keep using the coin?
Why wouldn't you? Are you saying you are using Bitcoin only for its home mining friendliness?? You are missing some good things this technology has to offer.

3) We'll sell it with Rack mount and PSUs
I'm starting a mining business and have about 180 kW of power which puts me about as a small/medium buyer.
I understand the attractiveness of rack mount with PSUs included miners for the bulk buyer. However, I found the price premium for this too expensive. My last buying order, I opted for SP20 which was sold at 366 USD / unit in a 15 units bundle which is about
244 USD / TH.s^-1 (Without PSU). The SP31 is now at
430 USD / TH.s^-1 with PSU. The choice was clear from a buyer standpoint to take the SP20 and buy the PSU somewhere else.
I don't know if this premium is the result of a desire to liquidate your SP20 inventory, but if it is the result of a manufacturing cost... I think you should let the miners provide the PSU.
I'm eager to see what SP will have to offer in the near futur. My order with them went really well and unfortunately for me, the SP20 being out of stock without alternative, is delaying my expansion project.
