Smiley  Not necessarily.  If you're about to order I trust you've done your research. 

I am going to have a much more balanced approach to this soon so people can make their own decision and have all the information available instead of just asking to trust me.  (On my table I mean) 

kjlimo, what is your estimate on the lead time for a new BFL order?  Their site says it might take up to 2 months or more.  This is as vague as it could possibly be, and I haven't seen anything more clear.  I would love to be pointed in the right direction though.

I'm hoping for by the end of the year.  Possibly by November.

Hopefully, I can pull together the resources to pull the trigger on ordering within the month.
Ok, the rise has to be 11% to break even a year from November on a 50GH.

Smear peice?  That's fine.  I was thinking more of education.  New people see the Butterfly Labs page and hit that preorder button without knowing what is going on.  It's quite likely that the best you'll do at this point is break even. 
If you have a preorder from a long time ago then this article is not about you.

Are you implying it's about me who's getting ready to order one?

Smear piece against BFL. Nothing new here. It's harsh, but no obvious falsehood that I can see. If you read the BFL troll threads you've seen this all before.

"Looks like what we really need is some competition.  No company would act like this if they felt threatened.  Avalon, you gonna ship?  KnCMiner?  Lets see some action."

Hehe - it's really weird reading this as I appear to be a whisker away from actually having my BFL order shipped - no more than two weeks now, I bet, for my July 7, 2012 order.      Smiley

It is what it is. Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug.

Edit: just noticed this piece appears to be in OP's own blog and he's cross-posted the same piece here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/butterfly-labs-500-gh-on-order-now-247473
