Same thing happened to me with Nanopool, except I didn't put up with their low payouts for an entire month...
I don't mine Ethereum, but I have mined two other Ethash coins - MUSIC and UBQ - and I really like Pool.Sexy for both.
Oh, and you are missing out on at least 5 MH/s per 570 by not doing the BIOS mod.

If you do the calculations (unless I am doing it wrong) MUSIC and UBQ are currently still not as profitable as eth. Are you seeing something differently?
By the time you wrote that the profitability was outdated
That said, I don't chase profitability too slavishly; I like to mine coins where difficulty is low relative to price (a subjective call, I'll admit) and that I think have reasonable prospects. I started mining UBQ when it was $1.77US then stopped when it hit $4.00; started MUSIC when it was $0.04 then stopped when it hit $0.10, then started again just yesterday and will probably keep mining it until I hit my next round 1000 in quantity.
But I consider both coins more speculative - along with TZC (Neoscrypt) and DERO (Cryptonight) - to actually bring in some income I have been mining ZEN on luckpool for several weeks now (and just got a 6x GTX 1060 rig up and running specifically for it).
