Pre-orders are risky business. The odds are against it working out. For every KNC you have , I dunno, about 5 companies that don't deliver, and 3 companies that under-deliver, and 2 companies that are super-late, like Avalon.
The irony of that statement is that KNC customers only made profits if they paid in fiat. The majority of Avalon customers at least made some profit (but the last batch of them got royally screwed). The fiat KNC customers can't take alot of comfort in that IMO, just buying bitcoins with their money would have been more profitable.
This is precisely how think about it, modulo two minor nitpicks:

DPoS like to say:
Buying KNC miners is like storing your BTC in a bank that only lets you withdraw a certain amount per day. Helps to keep you in the game without selling everything at the first 20% jump.
- buy a miner is another way to "buy" bitcoin without the need to wire money to an exchange or any other
(not very transparent) actors that provide services to enter the btc world.
