Its important to look to the future of things when getting into mining, and what your personal goals would be with it.
Each node no matter how small contributes and diversifies the network, if your desire to mine is based on fun and being an active part of it, and not serious mining operation, the Erupters are perfect for this as barrier to entry is pretty low and setup is minimal. The Erupters are still not ideally suited for a large mine as their density cannot compare to the latest industrial miners nearing release. But if anything, they do carry some cool factor.
The price per mhash is still much too high compared to other offerings on the way to be useful in heavy mining where ROI is a significant factor, which should drive the price down quite a bit soon. With the network hashpower exploding ROI is very marginal until the market is either saturated to taper off of this rise and/or Bitcoin rallies once again higher to restore mining ROI to a better place.
Remember also that Bitcoin has only grown positively overall from day one. They were worth $266 this year at the high point, if it does a similar rally again soon, even a little bit of a Bitcoin could be worth a lot.
