I don't like the pricing. Judging from $7000 for 4 chips Jupiter and $3800 for 2 chips Saturn, one chip (simplifying) costs $1600 and there is a fixed cost of $600, so 1 chip Mercury should cost $2200.
If they have set the price to $2000, the customers who bought Saturns can feel treated unfairly, because they had to pay $233.33 too much. (Counting $1666.66 per chip and $333.33 fixed cost.)
"One chip" means a chip plus a radiator and all what is needed to add when we add one chip.
Fixed cost is for a case, a controlling chips and all what doesn't depend on mining chips count.
We don't know the details now. Maybe their construction is not so modular and the Mercury is quite simpler/cheaper.
But for now I don't like the the price structure.

I'm not sure it makes such a difference to the customer. From an investor standpoint, perhaps KnC isn't getting as much as they can for the Mercury. But from a customer's standpoint, buying 2 Mercury units costs $200 more than buying 1 Saturn unit - how exactly does the Saturn owner feel cheated? They saved $/Gh - end of story.
I don't disagree though - people wanted it and it's probably not very difficult to engineer the case so I'm not against it. And yes, I'm confident that KnC will be fair about shipping out the orders.
