This is a good bit of info, but it can't account for the volatility of the altcoin market or the volume of new Scrypt miners that will be online by the time you get yours.

My L3+ (which I overpaid for via third party a few months ago) is still earning quite well. I personally think that it will reach ROI well before March (especially if bitcoin doesn't drop significantly). That said, I do not think I would buy another at this point (I WAS debating it a week ago or so). I'd put that money into a rig, because they're more versatile, have (IMO) longer profitability lifespans, and better resale (in theory, anyway; yes, people will always need GPUs for computers, but if, say, all 1060s became obsolete for mining at the same time, no way demand could meet the supply). Realistically it's 6 of 1, maybe around 7 of another. I wouldn't say it's at all stupid to get an L3+ right now, but I wouldn't be excited about one either.

If you DO decide to pull the trigger on one, PM me if you'd like to buy a discount coupon code. $125 coupon for $100. Smiley
