Those ASICMiner devices have always been overpriced. ASICMiner and Avalon units consume way too much power. Those BFL Singles are decent devices. Those AntMiners look very promising. KNC or BitFury are amazing devices. I dare you to ask anyone who has any of those and see if they're losing money.

My V1 Blades have paid for themselves a few time over - they've been totally solid and reliable, and just hash away in the corner with zero intervention. Same with the Jalapenos.

Only because the price of BTC has risen.

However, you lost BTC. The BTC price paid for said items at the time they were bought is greater than the BTC they have produced.
Thus your profit is less than if you had simply bought BTC instead.
(also you need to subtract the running cost and time mining that would not have been necessary if you only bought BTC)
