And it's not like they make many chips that don't reach 2500K's clocks. So it wouldn't improve yields one bit.
The only people that would say that are those who get SB chips by the trayful from sponsors to blow up at will with all kinds of crazy voltages. For others, 63x ("limit" on my chip) you don't have a hope in hell of reaching. A 2400K actually makes a lot of scence. Not many people want to drop £200-£300 on a CPU, but most you will find are fairly open to spending around the £160 mark because its not psycologically as big.
