I've seen a few people with them. Price is high compared to group buys, and ROI (Return on Investment) is becoming difficult! Undecided

No, the price is very low compared to the USB block erupter group buys. ROI would be much easier with BFL units.

The actual problem is the order backlog. While the units are much faster and cheaper per Ghps than the block erupters, if you order today it will take a while before you receive the product. That's how ASICminer can charge very high prices for very slow units - the competition just isn't able to deliver enough units.

BFL is claiming that they'll be caught up on all of the back orders by the end up September, but that's most likely just another lie.
