For ROI what should be the time span to be taken into account ?

Fix a certain % bitcoin difficulty increase, I will recommend 15% to 20% for calculations.
Put a standard electricity charge of around $0.15 per KWH. No need to take timespan into account.
Now find out the ROI % in BTC terms. This is a rough idea and you need to refine it as you progress into the project.
If %ROI can be spread over like this, one can simply look at the charts and select which miner will be more good to buy.
A variable difficulty will drop down box in your spreadsheet will be an added advantage in the selection process.


I was not including ROI only because the electricity cost is different for each miner and spreadsheet environment is tricky in a way to be used by multiple people if they change something. But yeah, the sheet will be complete if we have ROI figure. Let me sleep over it.

I made a comparison sheet sothat all can be on the same page about buying the next miner

You can add new miners or correct erroneous data points. Keep the pre-order folks away please.

Add a Return on Investment (% ROI) column in the spreadsheet will make the list complete.
Many of the miners prices are varying and only with estimated %ROI column we can compare miners.
Make sure the %ROI is based on BTC price itself. Which will help to draw up a consistent view.
Google docs help articles have all the coding required for that. Hope we can see an updated sheet soon.
