Bitfury at wall is around 1W/GH Source

KnC Max at wall is 1.6W/GH

Somehow I'm not seeing the 50% Sad
Bitfury is 0.8 J/Gh at wall according to 2 customers who have received their units. Quite exactly 50% of KnC (estimated) 1.6 J/Gh. That can change tho, if KnC does it's under promise, over deliver thing.

No No No
Bitfury is NOT still half KNC on Watts if they are getting HALF the expected Hashrate & delivering 2x as many boards to make up for it... So Bitfury's you must DOUBLE what they Spec.'d at. And now that they must deliver DOUBLE expected boards, you can expect delays
Each board turned out to do ~22.2 Gh/s instead of promised 25Gh/s. Happy days for starter kit orderers who got 2x22Gh instead of promised 25Gh. Still 0.8 J/Gh - 100% more efficient than KnC - no matter how many more boards they ship.
Great, go get a Rasberri Pi & order a Bitfury... Use Duct tape, Bubble gum and fishing line while assembling your overpromised, under-delivered,  POS monstrosity, and play. I'm staying right here, thank-you.

I'm pretty sure most here are willing to live with gear held together with bubble gum, duct tape or snot -- as long as it makes them money.  You, of course, are welcome to wait for the sexy raw aluminum box of fans. 
There's an old joke about NASA developing a pen that works in outer space, while the crude, clueless Russians used pencils.
