Good luck trying to find one though.
I tried to get my hands on the new S9 to no avail unless you want to pay 3x retail. I have a few Avalon 741's coming. Power requirements for two Avalons are about 2100W vs. 1600W for the S9 at a similar hash rate.
That translates into $40 more per month in power cost - but thats 4% of the current value. You can offset that by buying more efficient power supplies than most people use. Going from a Gold to a Titanium PSU gains you 4% efficiency.
