This is just a response..... not an answer to your question, sorry.
By "2.5 Large", I'm assuming you mean $2,500.00 ??? If so, HOLY COWS..... I wish that's all I had invested - lol.
Also, If I could predict 10 years in the future I wouldn't be worrying about 2.5 large.
NEON has become more of a "labor of love" than ever for those of us who still survive in the business (vs. being a highly profitable business). Production is way down. In other words, if you don't love NEON for Neon's sake, don't even bother.
By the way, watch for auctions. There are NEON plants for sale all across the country.
