Then I guess my question is. Will the difficultly go up much from now to when the next batch is available? The reason is I'm getting a loan to buy this and my buddy is asking me to pay him back 2x the price in 6 months. So should I buy one from a reseller now, or will the difficulty be fine and mean that I can buy it from Bitman themselves when the next batch comes out? Which will be around September?

no one can tell you , how much those miners can produce per week or months ahead...
any calculator you can find on the web , is just for that day , that moment when u using it

difficulty and current LTC/fiat exchange rate the two mayor factor to calculating any income from mining if you not paying for electricity , if you have to pay the power bill then that is the 3rd important factor to calculating your income...

One Antminer l3+ with today (july-20-2017) difficulty , and current LTC/fiat exchange rate can generate around 36-37$/ day with free electricity ...
in the past 1 month the difficulty grow 30%
if yo used the same calculator a month ago (jun-20-2017) you calculated result was around 75$/day, with free electricity

The next batch you can buy from Bitmain is will be available for shipping around the end of september , or the first hal of october .
just in the past 1 month the difficulty grow by 30% , dont forget about this ,when u calculationg your projected income
