I ordered four Antminer L3's but now that the LTC price has gone up, they are too expensive for me.

 I was thinking about getting some A4 Dominators instead.  Is this a good idea?   The A4 Dominator seems to be more hashing power for less money.  But it also seems to be two separate units.   I was trying to figure out the amperage for the A4 Dominators.   How many pairs of units would be able to plug into a 240 volt? I am thinking 4 pairs, each at around 1050 watts. 

 Or should I keep it simple and stick with one supplier  (bitmain) for all my miners?  I think I can run eight L3 Units off of one 240 volt plug using 4 power supplies (apw3) right?

It looks like both Innosilicon and Bitmain are doing pre-orders for miners in ~September.

Based upon the price difference, the L3+ is still the way to go if you're willing to wait 2-3 months.

The A4's are great but for only $600 less and basically half the speed, it's not worth it.
