At this rate the only way CoinTerra is going to be worth is if they produce a 1TH/s machine and price it so good that nobody will even think of KnC. It has to be the same sort of difference like when you see BFLs 500GH/s machine sold for $22k when KnC is offer 400GH/s for $7k - it's a no brainer. Cointerra is going to have to pull off something like this. They openly stated that they want to make it more efficient with smaller chips etc, but with Bitcoin and where the difficulty is headed, that won't matter. Right now being first counts, because at the rate the difficulty is set, by the time the CoinTerra machines arrive, they are just going to be too late and overpriced.
To be honest, ASIC manufacturers should really be talking about 750GH~1TH/s at this point in time.
I also hope that opt to limit 1TH per customer. See that way the rich in Bitcoins cannot stay at an advantage simply because they were in a luckier position earlier on in the mining game. No one wants an elite group in Bitcoin, although it is inevitable as time goes on, the more it is inhibited, the better us small losers have a chance, and this is also healthy for the overall growth/popularity/valuation of Bitcoin. Think how advantageous it is to those early miners who may have 500+ BTC at their disposal to purchase many terahertz of mining power? This creates a huge backlog causing shipments to delay. It won't affect the big sharks because they're already well off, it's the small guy who gets screwed the most ALWAYS. This big sharks versus small sharks situation has to be stopped before it really begins and fucks up Bitcoins mining community. Cointerra can stop this from happening quite frankly. The community will recognize what they have done, in my opinion, and they will end up with much respect from the community. Am I totally off? Am I thinking of this the wrong way? Should those with plenty have more while those with little struggle? Is that what this community is banking on for the long term success of Bitcoin? We'll see. I could be way off. Maybe the little guy really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things.
