Either you only use the GPU sporadically or your math is very different from Tim Dettmers` [1]:

"The break-even point for a desktop vs a cloud instance at 15% utilization (you use the cloud instance 15% of time during the day), would be about 300 days ($2,311 vs $2,270):"

And that was written before the current GPU crunch and assumes availability in the cloud, which currently is not a given at all.
