There's another option. You could consider teaming up with the folks on kickstarter.
If I were trying to build a thing, and somebody told me: "hey, I've had the same idea as you did, and worked half a year on it", I'd be intrigued to learn from their experience, and maybe even consider some form of collaboration.

Also, if you merge, both of you will be stronger and each of you will have one competitor less. I guess it all comes down to what role the startup is playing in your life.
