Is x9 in profits worth it if it takes half of my angels?

I am able to get the "Salivate-tion" angel upgrade on the Moon in adventure-capitalist which grants x9 to all profits. Right now I would have to spend half of my angels to get this upgrade (500 quindecillion angels), but whether or not it is worth it seems like it should be true regardless of what the relative percentage of angels would be. Correct? My Bonus Per Angel is 11% so it should only take 81 angels (9/.11) to achieve a x9 upgrade. So isn't it always a waste to buy these instead of letting the angels do their bonus?

Edit: I went ahead and did it! I ended up with a net 4.9x increase after giving up 45% of my active angels.

Should I buy Angel upgrades?

They are very much worth it if you buy them at the right time. Be careful, because you will lose the profit bonus from the angels you spend and you'll lose angel upgrades and have to re-buy them after resetting, but you don't get the Angels you spent back.

Are Angel upgrades permanent?

They aren't. They act like cash upgrades. You have to buy them each time you reset, but you should wait until they make a difference.

When should I reset my angel investors?

Resetting should be done when a significant number of new Angel Investors is reached. The next session will be that much faster, due to the new Angels, and will let the player get further before things slow down too much.

Answer 2

The best way is to use the system they have designed in the game. If you purchase upgrades using angels, and it asks are you sure, hit no. If it does not ask, it's "Safe" or efficient enough not to cause a loss of profits. Think of it like this, if it asks 'Are you Sure?', it's because it isn't considered Safe when it consumes more than 1% of your angels. To prevent confusion, remember this doesn't mean it will never give you more profits than you currently have, but if you use their built in system, you won't ever waste angels.

This same things applies when you buy the quick buy manager (earth or mars), because with the quick buy angels, it will only buy the safe upgrades and leave any others alone.
