$1985 though... not a good price at all
Edit: 153.52 per TH/s vs $150 per TH/s for Batch 1. And shipped a week later. Ouch.

Fahget about it!
I think you guys missed the power consumption of batch 1 1375 and batch 2 1275.
If you calculate it u will see that B1 and B2 are equivalent.
Efficiency is the same, but price per TH/s is higher on the later shipping batch which is a step backwards.
supply, meet demand.
They can make as little or as great of supply as they choose, there won't be any demand from this guy at that price. I guess there will always be those who are desperate enough to get the latest and greatest, or those who do reviews and want the early exposure. I know I made that mistake with the B1 S7's.
It seems to be nearly a consensus that there is a lot of markup built in to that price, we just need some competition or common sense to reach the market to get the pricing in check with reality.
It is all speculation, but you do have historical average to see what may happen in the future. In 2010 did you buy Bitcoin at pennies on the dollar? Buy now, it will appreciate in value.
Exactly, buy coin and leave the S9's to the suckers. I never thought I'd hear myself say that, but it's true.
