I agree, the 380X performs much better with Ethereum, Im getting between 140-150mhs on my six 380X rig. This is also what makes me think Claymore maybe able to tweak it a little more for ZEC, hence why Im willing to compensate him for his time. I also agree with patience, if your not mining right now, its not the time to try and buy hardware and going with inferior hardware does mean no resale value.
