460 or 470 - Which one?

The Gigabyte GTX 460 SOC (815core/4000mem) available for <£160 would be my choice. Similar performance out of the box to the 470 but runs MUCH cooler and quieter.

If you overclock, the 470 will ultimately be faster but it will create a lot of heat and noise for gains which only benchmarks will notice. 460 also scales slightly better if you are considering SLI as a future upgrade option.

Hmm....if I overclock the Vantage score seems to stay put.

Overclocked to 756/1512/1817 and Vantage score is now 18686

If you are using Afterburner to overclock, make sure that you save the profile on buttons 1-5 and then set that profile for use during 3D (done within the Profiles tab).

Here's my old overclocked 460 benchmark. Once you overclock that 470 you should beat this by a good 10%.
