At those price points they'd be great bargain alternatives to the GTX 780's

Only reason I am leaning in that range is because currently not its really addressed by anything in the new lineup. Its also a "no brainer" value buy at those prices.
Well the 280X is priced in the UK at around the 250 - 280 mark, which is around the 399 dollar mark. So I expect the 290 and 290X to be a good bit higher.

The 280X Matrix Platinum is 320 pounds, which = 511 dollars. So I highly doubt the 290X will be in that ballpark.
