But yeah, this is a hard question because there are a lot of variables that can be unique to the individual but here are some things to consider.
#1. How much does $149 or $649 mean to you?
#2. If you get it by June will the difficulty increase from all the other ASICs entering the pool dilute the investment?
#3. Will the value of Bitcoins go so high that it will even out the difficulty increase?
#4. Will you kick yourself in the ass for not at least attempting to purchase a cheap ASIC?
#5. How much is it worth to you to simply support something that is different and might make sense on a few different levels?
#6. Do you like watching numbers increment?
Lol...I put that last one on there because for some really silly reason I just like watching numbers/data go up and down. Even downloading files/games from the internet was pretty mezmorizing for me as a kid, but that was back in the day when 14.4 was fast.
