That being said, the pricing of the tubes, even given the slight miss in performance, is absurdly phenomenal. I'm not sure we'll see anything close with SHA256-based hardware at this price and scale for years, and possibly ever again, and certainly not after the next block reward cut.
While I agree with the rest of your post I can't agree with this statement. I don't think that you really believe that you will not see this price for years! YEARS!!? Really? Why years? Isn't it a bit too much considering that the competition is somehow close to those prices?
