    I've done the Roi and you can earn money by routing and then selling in 3 years. I'll send the screenshots when I'm at my laptop.

    Generally, the ROI is worse when you go longer to 10 years. My assumptions is that:

    - $1k per year for the care and upkeep (your time, mileage, parts etc etc)
    - $5k to acquire a Stern Pro and you can get all your money back (Stern raises prices each year)
    - Pin makes an average of $32 a week which is a little less than industry average. http://www.playmeter.com/images/SofIpg07.pdf

    Of course your milage may vary due to splits.

    So 3 year ROI is 16%. Not bad and not horrible. Better than bonds, SP500 and it's cash based.
