If you calculate how much extra units you get from saving turns, you might be able to prove it being a good strategy though

You wouldn't get any extra units from saving turns. Are we on the same page?

Id say you would?
The avg amount of units of a farm increases with like 10k? a day?
So use 1500 turns today would get you 200k units on avg, whilest tomorrow itw ould give you 210k on average.
1500turns:15=100, 100attacks with 200k avg = 20m units
1500turns:15=100, 100attacks with 210k avg = 21m units.
But wheter that 1m more units will weigh up against the 20m miners income of like 2,000B you lose out on in those 24 hours u wait...I not so certain...

In a perfect world Scenester. Raiding doesn't quite work like that though. There are always percentage fluctuations on your raids so it could be anything from 180k-220k at the moment. You just hope for an average outcome of 200k per target per 15AT's. Irrelevant I guess.
I'd rather capture 20m today, then wait until tomorrow and capture 21m anyway. It would mean a day without an additional 20m UU worth of income.

Scenester: Four days ago, I used about 7k turns (first time I had been able to raid in awhile due to school starting up), and I wasn't getting consistent numbers. It was about 150-170k a hit. So, 40k UU x 467 Attacks (7k / 15 ATs) is about 19 Millions units.
(For the observant observers out there, No, that pattern didn't follow my aforementioned strategy, but university has just started up again, and my free time is even slimmer than what it was just last week.)
Honestly, I don't have a choice in strategies, because I don't have much free time everyday to get on and raid 67 times on top of standard upgrading and what-not. I [at least] can get on the game and the forums from my phone, but it's almost impossible to raid. It's usually how I upgrade and train units daily, along with probably half of my forum posts.
Basically, the 19m bonus units is just that-- a bonus. I'd be playing like this even if there wasn't an increase because I simply just do not have the time. Playing this way, I can have a set chunk of time I clear on either Wednesday or Thursday, depending on my schedule. Sunday is always free, so I don't have to worry about that.
