Depends on how you look at it and how passionate you are towards mining. If you are willing to go for the long term play, then buying the miners shouldn't be a problem, as you have all the time and patience. With all other factors such as changes in the total network hash rate over time, nicehash fee estimations won't give you a clear picture on when you think you might break even.
Buying bitcoin on the other hand doesn't involve much hassle, except just hoping it pumps in the next 1 or 2 years, and you take profit.

Yep, always great to buy directly from the company.

Some of the best equipment was bitmain originated, although they havent released much of the quieter USB/POD/MINI stuff for the home miner. Those 6200RPM fans are howlers for sure.

Bitmain's been around for quite some time so you shouldnt experience any problems. They're also one of the few companies that offered hosting rentals insted of just purchasing equipement. And they actually performed public trial on their AI, unluck most companies.

Might as well get two.

Can I also suggest that if its possible to obtain a matching USB from the sequence.

theres a bunch of other great companies you should also purchase from, innosilicon, pinidea...etc.

I was just about the pull the trigger on an S21 miner purchase from Bitmain, and before I do, I wanted to get some feedback on if it is worth the hassle, with customs, fees, all this KYC BS, delays, etc.

The Bitmain site says my order will be in the March batch, so I'm assuming I'd get it in April if I am lucky.  I'm not sure how I feel about a NON-REFUNDABLE (Bitmain's own words) order hanging out there for 2 months.

Am I about to give myself a big headache, or just say the hell with it, wait for BTC prices to dip, buy some, and ride it up to big profits?

The Nicehash calculator says I'll get $8 a day from 200 Terahash after electricity cost, and that's at todays difficulty and price.
