The regular spellpower weapon enchant? Yes. Theres also a 63 spellpower enchant with higher mat requirements which I will be upgrading to soon

Yeah, I looked at that bad boy the other day. It ends up being about 6 times as expensive, for 13 more spell power. I just couldn't justify it.

Yeah, but eventually you won't have anything more worthwhile to spend money on anyway, might as well get it, especially if you have a weapon where you don't see an upgrade anytime in the near future.

I'll be getting the 50 spell power enchant for now until I finish getting the 5 craftable epics for each character.

There are two tiers of many of the enchants, the differences are fairly minor. If you really think you will not upgrade an item until the next content patch, then yeah, you should put the better enchant on it. But its fairly easy to get into naxx pugs, and stuff from KelThuzad (or Obsidium Sanctum 1 dragon, Malygos, etc) are quite a bit better than crafted/early naxx drops and do definitely deserve the better enchant, since there is no better item in game.

Personally, I try not to compare DPS because you only rarely ever face such a nice controlled environment where meaningful comparisons can be drawn. Not to mention you face an E-peen contest with the highest numbers people can pull out, despite the fact they forgot to mention they were flasked, in a raid, had certain buffs , or any number of criteria that caused the discrepency.

If you think you can improve, by all means, do so, but the important part is accomplishing what you set out to accomplish, not what shiny numbers you can get a program to spit back out at you.
