The biggest problem that I see with all Scrypt-N coins is the psychological factor of seeing half your normal hashrate. X11 and X13 coins are clearly winning over GPU miners and it's easy to see why - less power usage and less heat (great for summer).
It's all well and good to say Scrypt-N would save GPU miners from ASICs, but Scrypt-N isn't the only game in town anymore.

best GPU is that one, which is able to convert as much power into crypto as possible
situation is unstable now due to scrypt ASIC rollout and X11 hype, but:
if you have the same card able to convert:
a) 1$ of power cost per day into 2$ crypto value in x11
or
b) 2$ of power cost per day into 4$ crypto value in n-scrypt
The long term winner should be option b)...
...and there is X11 fpga (and ASIC then) real risk also...
...and Nvidia 750Ti solves power usage and heat problem completely
(while AMD is nowadays just A Mining Dinosaur
)
