Block erupter cube OR antminer S1

Hi.
Just getting back into mining after previously mini in with GPU.
I can get 2x block erupter cubes for £125 or an antminer s1 for £225
What would you guys go for ? I can see that the antminer hashes a lot higher, but is it worth the initial investment ?
Any help appreciated.

I know you have VAT but 225 pounds sounds was overpriced for the S1, especially since most people are having to undervolt/underclock them now. Try looking in the marketplace and buy one locally - should be a lot cheaper.

Yeh that price was used and included vat (eBay)
Would you say the block erupter cube is not worth it now ? Due to the difficulty ?
Would you suggest an antminer S1 as the bare minimum ?
Will try and source one cheaper what sort out price would you say I should be looking at ?
Cheers.

Personally I would chose the Antminer S1. It looks like in a few days you'll probably be able to pick one up on Ebay ~$150.
Either way you have to have a PSU on, by looking at the Block Erupter Cube setup. It would seem the best use of power would be the S1.

Thanks guys, Antminer S1 it looks like it is then !
Will try and find one cheaper ... so they are worth around £200ish then ?
And would I make my money back + profit before the difficulty got too hard ?
Cheers.

S1 is the most solid robust piece of mining kit ever made and undervolt possible

Great,
I have managed to pick one up with around 8 weeks use for £125 ..
Is that a good enough deal ?
Cheers.

Not a bad deal. Since this next jump will be minimal you might make your money back. Don't expect a profit. if it comes it will be icing on the cake.

Thanks for the help
Up and running at the moment .. I am using BTC Guild Pool ..is that a good decision, or would i benefit from Slush's pool more ?
One quick question for those using BTC Pool ..
Within the worker there is a minimum difficulty by default it is on 4 ...
Should I leave it as is if mining with 1x Antminer S1 ? Does it make a difference ?
Many thanks.
