It's a tough decision now that the RX570/RX580 prices are back down to "normal". Yes, the vega has a higher hashrate (about 1.75x on average of the RX570/RX580)..... But, at 3x the cost. You can buy 3x RX570/RX580 for the price of 1 Vega 64. But you also need to take into account the additional cost for the extra PCI-E slots you'll need. Even so, I think that the RX570/RX580 are the better buy at this point in time. Vega 64 price needs to drop by about 35-40% to make it the better choice.
Also, keep in mind, you can reduce the power consumption of the RX570/RX580 to be lower than that of the Vega 64. Depending on what you're mining, you can get the RX570/RX580 to be half the power consumption of the Vega 64. If you hit the bin lottery and tweak your cards well, even lower power consumption than the vega 64 (for 2 cards)! It should be possible to get 2x RX570's to be 1.25x hashrate, and 1x power at 0.70x cost of the Vega 64...
