Ther SP20 says it gets about 1.7TH with a power consumption of 1200 watts... So about the same power consumption, with 200gh more power and $200 more in price... Right now, anyway...

However, if you do the math, the faster delivery should actually make up for that $200 within the month, and will be a tad more future proof... Maybe this is decent.

Touch decision, IMO. But S3's are typically going for like $200 each. Some are that plus shipping. You'd pay more for less hashing power, but in-hand... Then again, I only have a PSU to power one... Damn, if this A1 was in-hand, I'd pay for it in a heartbeat, you know?

Shoot...

the sp20 gets 1350gh with 750 watts

the 1200 watt 1700 gh is with a monster overclock .

  you spend 450 watts  to get that last 350gh.

I have a very long detailed thread on the sp20.  if you have a 1000 watt psu in hand the sp20 is a good deal

if you have to buy a psu it is not a great deal.
