If this is your main reasoning argument for Litecoin, then I have bad news for you, as you're completely wrong. Litecoin's PoW algorithm uses Scrypt and is second only to Bitcoin's SHA256 as far as ASIC-based mining goes. This has been the case for 3 years now and at this point Scrypt ASICs are hashing between 100-200X more efficient both on a $/H and W/H basis vs GPUs.
