Considering October delivery, is it still worth it for me to place an order today for a Jupiter or Saturn? Will I at the very least see ROI?
Well if you got a Jupiter Oct 1 and you started mining right away ..(Roi 57 days)

http://mining.thegenesisblock.com/a/8ab0181416That's at the current bitstamp btc price approximately $112 not the goxed btc price. Of course its also guesstimating the difficulty climb.
Maybe someone else can chime in .. im a bit biased as i dont think its a good time to by a miner. I was once critical of KNC but not so much now.
They actually look good and as long as they can stick to the deadlines without hiccups they will have a good run at the asic space.
You are mistaking ROI and break-even (like most do in here).
ROI is the profit ("return") you get from an investment. You can have a low or a high ROI, but if you have a ROI you have reached break-even for sure.
Break-even means you recoup all your investment
Most of people in here uses ROI as a synonym for break even, which is nonsense.
It's not non-sense, it's a shortcut for that exact meaning, akin to colloquialism. When I say "achieve ROI" I mean the device achieves positive ROI, which implies it has reached the breakl-even point, quite obviously.
But no one gets excited about breaking even. We're all doing this to achieve positive ROI, but that's clumsy to say, so we just say 'achieve ROI. The continuum of ROI is implied:
< --- negative ROI --- |break-even| --- positive ROI, or just "ROI" --- >
I, for one, will continue using the term ROI to mean exactly this, and I doubt very many similarly using it are unaware of the meanings involved and therefore using it unknowingly wrongly.
TL;DR: language usage evolves organically, thus the prhase 'achieve ROI' means 'surpass break-even point and achieve positive-ROI.'
