Hmmm....
BFL have announced half price Monarchs for new orders with existing pre-order customers having to swallow full price for early ASIC fabrication.
Though there will not be any offer of redress coming from BFL for existing (I don't know if LRM has any 'special relations' with BFL) would it be worth putting in an order for half price cards knowing that they will offer the same return (ish) taking increase in difficulty into account?
BFL have stated that thousands of wafers will be available in order to drive their GH/s contracts so new Monarch orders should turn around relatively quickly (4 - 6 weeks?) once chips are available from the foundry.
Thoughts (keep them constructive!!!) ?

The only constructive feedback is to literally never do business with BFL again.
BFL excised their hubris muscle to their long term detriment. But, hey, who said Sonny was in it for the long game. Each person involved in the founding of BFL is now very wealthy. I predict that they will sell the company after the big Monarch push is done and retire to some other private venture - which is undoubtedly the operation and maintenance of one of the largest private pools of hashing power in the world.
