Heck. I don't even like Bitmain that much. I really don't care about what happens to the company. I only use the miners because they make the most money. As soon as bitfury gets their heads out of their ass's. I'll buy from them. If the A7 was any where close to being comparable. I would buy from them. I only care about making the most amount of money so I can continue to grow my mining business.
Yep that's pretty reasonable 
My stats posts, which are supposed to have nothing to do with that
, are about the fact that a particular firmware, S9v1 has REALLY bad luck on the pool.To the point where it is unlikely to just be "bad luck"
The S9v2 so far has been good (above expected luck), but like the A7, not a lot of data yet.
