    Lets say you want to invest for 2 Th/s.

    Means you will need 16x S1s or 2x A1 clones for example.

    option a):
    -16x S1s
    -need PSUs and power cables.
    -Need a router and 16x ethernet cables
    -Need much more space.
    -Need, also, baby sitting
    -Consume 2600W
    Cost: Around 11 BTC

    option b):
    -2x A1 Ths clones
    -Consume 2000W
    Cost: Around 10 BTC

    You choose.
    Option C.  You can only afford one S1.

    People weren't buying USB erupters because they were the best deal or the best equipment.  They were buying them because that's what they could afford and had immediate delivery.  There are 101 ways to skin this particular cat depending on your own particular circumstances.  And that includes the whole fiat vs. BTC arguments.  You do what's right for you and I'll do what's right for me.  You may be in a position to do better than me, but I can't do what you do so I'll do what I can.  And I'll do it with the full knowledge that it's not ideal because I ain't stoopid.
