From the proceeds of selling the 5GH/s worth of conventional hardware at today's prices, I could buy a 25 GH/s Bitcoin Miner...

Without hardware costs, it is a no brainer to run those cards if you are not going to sell them.
Assumign a 2000W power consumption (just a guess) thats $45+ a day at present prices ($135). Even if it drops back down to $50, which it was pretty stable at before this recent bump, you are making $15 a day. Chances are it ends up somewhere in the middle.
You are going to have to pool though, if you were not doing so before, because your average time to gen a block is almost 10 weeks.
At the end, you can still sell your cards for a reasonable amount.
Of course, the sooner you sell and order a ASIC rig to secure your place in line when they actually start shipping, likely the better. However, with the price increases, I expect the rate of ordering to decrease, so it might not be that bad.
