For current BTC/USD exchange rate- no, but if we can assume that BTC will rise in the future and you will hold some of mined bitcoins as long time investment, then, I think, yes.

But then, it would still have been better to buy BTC with the money

Maybe you are right, but no fun then

Also, they can be used to mine some alternative, more profitable at current moment crypto-coins, but you should watch "market pulse".
