The best time to upgrade your rank from EA to BTL or higher is when you can afford to - regards cost and time.
Cost:
If you can afford to spend money to upgrade, and, unless you are prepared to work hard at maintaining or improving that rank, can afford to spend money each month to maintain it, then go ahead and upgrade.
Why?
Besides the extra benefits that come along with being a Team Leader instead of an EA or EA2, a Team Leader badge makes you appear more authoritative - your team may be more inclined to hang on your every word and to follow up on what you suggest they do. Your upline may also be more inclined to help you - they know to "work with the workers" and now you look like a worker.
Time:
If you have no or very few EA2s in your team, you are missing out on the benefits you can derive from that when you upgrade to BTL or higher, but if you have the time to work with your affiliates and EAs, then go ahead and upgrade.
Why?
The same as the previous "Why?" under the "Cost" heading - and, if you upgrade early in the month, by the end of the month your hard work and time spent supporting your affiliates and EAs may pay off for you.
I do not recommend upgrading if you cannot yet afford to, financially, or time-wise.
If you already have many EA2s or even Team Leaders in your team, who are generating many versa points, and have been for a while, upgrade NOW.
