Not to be a troll...but after reading extensively on getting a gridseed setup...ROI looks to be 6-8 months...well after the high powered ASICs arrive.  Is buying gridseeds really worth it?

Yeah, I fear this too.
I have 6 GPU's and 10 Gridseeds happily hashing , but I fear they'll never reach ROI.
Furthermore, with all those big companies producing ASICs (scrypt and SHA256), I'm sure they all do "quality control" for a fair amount of time
=> difficulty goes up even before you have your miner
=> large amounts of BTC are being sold making the rate drop.

...

So yeah, I still believe in the concept of BTC, but in the long run, and not as a small miner. I'd just buy some coins with some money you don't really need and wait (a long time)
