Can't decide what to pick for first mining rig 270 vs 280



I really cannot decide what to buy for my mining rig to start with.
 
280x has better kh/s but consumes more than the 270, but costs 120 $ more .
 
On the long term which one would benefit me more ?


With 280x i would get more coins but higher energy consumption, i pay aprox 15-18c for kw/h

270 is cheaper and lower energy consumption.

If in fact you can buy the 280x for just 120$ more...go for it, seeing as most places have it for over twice the price of a 270.

and if i can't find it ? Some models are really the twice of the price like the Sapphire toxic. But the MSI one is 120 $ more.

In the US the 270 went way up in price over the last couple of weeks, $270 on newegg now.

Coinsfortech has them for $240 shipped, I might grab a few from them because I can't find a better deal.
