Its a good question,  personally id do the blades since you can have them tomorrow vs. waiting till next year when the difficulty level is said to continue to skyrocket upward.  You'd be better turning over what you can now, rather than wait for later (IMHO)  Use this Link to help you decide a little better:  http://mining.thegenesisblock.com/ 

As for speeds, just like any frequency out there-  MH/s(megahashes/second>GH/s(Gigahash/second)>TH/s(Terahash/seecond)


1000GH/s= 1TH/s

That is the problem, so 2TH/s is actually 2000GH/s.

CoinTerra = 2000 GH/s
ASICMiner Blade = 100 GH/s plus 1 already got so it is 110 GH/s

Wouldn't my 110 GH/s blade be useless in 4 months time compare to the 2000GH/s CoinTerra?

That is the biggest confusion, everyone including yourself and I know that in 4 months time the Hash rate will skyrocket. So if I get a more powerful miner to prepare for the skyrocket time be a better option? But I think if I can afford it, which I can't is to buy 10 blade now, and also order for the CoinTerra, and sell the blades when CoinTerra arrive.

I am getting more and more confused. I have been thinking of this question for a few days already. They are going to cost the same price. But which one is a better bet?

It is a bit like I get a car today I can travel at the speed of 110 Mph, I can travel pretty far in distance. But the speed limit of the highway is increasing so the traffic of other cars are getting faster. If I get a 2000 Mph car and order it now and get deliver in 4 months time. I can keep up with the other drivers. But I can only drive when I get my 2000 Mph car. Would I travel further distance if I get a 110 Mph car now and start to drive. Or start my journey in 4 months time, to keep up. But by then most likely there will be even faster cars on the market.  Huh
