I don't get it. They seem to be about twice as efficient as 5 S1's, but also cost twice as much. Is the efficiency really worth the extra cost? I guess so as Bitmain Tech is sold out, but can someone explains if I am missing something?

I guess it depends on your electricity cost. An S2 should draw ~900W less than 5 * S1..

Despite the power efficiency improvement, it still won't last long with the diff increasing so fast...
