The cheapest 460 is also 30% more expensive. Obviously the people shopping in this price range are doing so cause they don't want to pony up the extra $40. I also suspect the 460 will do a bit better in price/perf but that's not a linear progression and for Nvidia it probably peaks with the 460.

Even with the numbers in those early reviews I fail to see where your price criticism is coming from. A $130 MSRP puts it smack in the middle of the 5750's street price, and it's faster than the 5750.

The GTS 450 already has a stock speed of ~800mhz and ~1600mhz where as the GTX 460 has stock speed of 675 MHz and 1350 MHz so there goes the overclocking angle.
That remains to be seen. Stock speed doesn't dictate overclocking potential when you're comparing two different chips, I'm sure you know that.
