Bitshares and Mastercoin are similar but Bitshares is more decentralized and pays dividends.

What makes you say Bitshares is more decentralized? What I've seen and read, I can't find anything that would back this up. The amount of PTS that was mined in a week surprised everyone and what I've learned it was/is mostly done by big players. There was only a few days when regular folks could find blocks by themselves.

I'm happy to be proven wrong, but so far I haven't seen anything that would back up the claim that PTS mining would have been better model for the little people who can't invest a lot up front versus Mastercoin's "Exodus August" model, where even small players had an equal possibility to invest.

Small players can BUY PTS today just like they could buy Mastercoin. Furthermore, there are 1000's of small players who have received PTS and anyone mining within the first 48 hours generated at least one block. How many people currently own Mastercoin?

From a speculator's point of view, obtain 2-3 hundred coins from both projects and wait...Sure win!

200 PTS ( < 2BTC) is fine, but 200 MSC ( > 20 BTC) seems really a lot to invest.

I mined PTS and was an early adopter in MSC @0.01BTC - just for clarification.
On the other hand at least one of Mastercoin, Bitshares and Next will achieve at least parity with BTC imho...

Colored coins is the potential dark horse in this race...in my mind at least...

But you can't invest Sad
