I guess my point was two-fold.

1) The end product will probably be cheaper than the kickstarter backing. (You seem to agree with this, at least in general)

2) People shouldn't see backing a product as a purchase. There's clearly risk involved in any transaction where the obligation of the seller to provide anything, let alone meet your expectation of exactly how the end product will be realised.

It's sucky that you've had such a bad time with this KS though, the real value in backing ought to be the opposite of what you've experienced!
