I originally wanted to launch this with 2 other decks - a Tarot and Lenormand one, but as these printers don't do tarot size, I may have to set aside those other two decks for the moment.
I just hope EPCC and LPCC does fulfillment! I understand it can become quite a nightmare!
Also, pardon my ignorance, but what exactly do you mean by a blue version? Black fronts, with blue patterned backs, or... black and blue fronts (sounds like bludgeoned faces!) no reds, and blue patterned backs?

I like the concept of the black deck so far, but after looking through the thread again, I also think a blue deck (similar to the sample pattern you provided above) would also be nice.
Though I have never run a KS project before (I have backed a ton of them though), I think 1,000 decks is manageable. From my experience, projects that use LPCC and EPCC as printers range from 5-8K on average and higher if you want to push the limits on what you do with the cards and tucks (i.e. foil, embossing, etc.) I would say that, at a minimum, the successful 5-8K projects have at least 200-250 backers, half of which will pledge for 2 or more decks. If your project is successful, you should have at least 500 decks accounted for and hopefully would have covered your costs (including fulfilment, which I understand is always under-estimated)...the extras you could sell via a website or eBay.
