I have nothing against new PoW stage and I'm holder (a bit more than 250k) as well. I lost around 1btc worth of SLG at cryptsy. I've bought these for quite high price (even with current tops I hardly break even).

I would consider another algo (maybe the one Spencer is using with darksilk) and then mining more coins. Basically do anything that helps to create volume and make it more easy to enter SLG markets again.

I'm not sure that in how many places you can actually use SLG in UK, none here in Finland / Scandinavia.
