Why would anyone order today a December batch for $14,000 if they can get it month later for just $6000?

Do you honestly believe that a 2TH miner running for the whole December (assuming that they deliver December batch on Dec 1st) would earn $8000?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=283820.0 (6,000 to 8,000 TH/s by end of 2013)

Assuming BTC = 130USD, 7PH total network hashing power (1G difficulty),
2 TH would produce $3,930 in one month.

Given this putting a price tag of $8000 on 1 month earlier delivery is not exactly appropriate.
Also, the Delivery Time was not part of the product until today. If Cointerra is trying to include the Delivery Date as part of the product, then when ordering a product, it should have exact delivery date, not a month.
The current state is, that order from December batch may be shipped on Dec 31 and order from January batch shipped on Jan 1st - and in this case the "difference" between those 2 products is really none.

I'm not really expecting them to drop December price to $6000 as we all agree that Time=Money. But $8000 difference is not really reasonable.

Unfortunately, the current message they are sending to existing customers is more or less:
"Thanks you for being valuable customer and donating to our Research&Development.
We no longer need you and we can drop prices as much as we want.
And also we are renaming our product just in case so you don't ask for anything with respect to the Price Protection"

Don't forget that you can transfer your order to the lower price point batch 2 unit "for a small fee!"
