Bitmain said the upgrade kit for S1's would be available n a few months, by that time I fear they will be of little use

Who said that? I wrote them an email few days ago and they told me is going to be available very soon.

I sent them an email and asked when S1 upgrades would be available and the answer came back "upgrade plan will be released in several months, please wait for our official announcement".

"upgrade plan will be released in several months"

This reads more like a trade in option. Probably when the S3 is no longer selling in large numbers.
Just think how many S1 farms you could control, if you had very cheep/free Chinese hydro electric, using free S1 returned units.
