Don't worry about the double posting... ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
Using the same numbers as earlier, the S5 would expect to make 0.009541BTC a day. Taking out power at $0.10 per kWh, the S5 net you about $1.25 a day - roughly the same as the S4. This is where the efficiency comes into play. Yes, the S5 has a lower hash rate, but because of the efficiency of the miner, it makes the same net as the S4.
Put it this way... Even if the S5 costs the same as the S4 (don't forget to account for a PSU), you'll continue to remain profitable with the S5 because it's earning back more per hash than the S4. In other words, because it's more efficient, it'll weather the difficulty adjustments better than the S4 and continue to be profitable.

And then I'm sure that the S7 is like 3 S5s or something

Ok, that makes sense. Thank you so much. I'd rep you if I could.
