...it might become a better option for some people just because it is cheaper. The poor mans BTC if you like.
This is a strange statement to make. How is it cheaper for someone to send 200 LTC instead of 1 BTC? Or 2 LTC instead of 0.01 BTC?
That said, I don't think LTC has any future, because it isn't different enough from Bitcoin. But I've held on to a couple hundred LTC just in case.
