i will buy a quilt kit if it's a unique pattern that i would like to try because i will want to make it again in my own fabric that will cost me more than the kit did. long sentence translated , if it's cheap i'll buy it, do it, and make with more expensive fabric next time. my ddil has small children and they love tablerunners that are for any occasion or season, etc. and the kids can drag around a cheap quilt and use the heirloom one on their bed. haven't tried any pre cut quilts, but if i ever do a mckenna ryan quilt i will definitely want a precision cut kit!
