BFG 8800 Ultra Vs 8800 GTX ?!?!!!

Okay so thinking about a new card and just noticed some interesting things -

BFG GeForce 8800 GTX OC2 768MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail - £399.49 - Core 626mhz, Shader 1450mhz, Mem 2000mhz

BFG GeForce 8800 Ultra 768MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail - £528.74 - Core 612mhz, Shader 1500mhz, Mem 2160mhz


So for a slightly lower clocked core, 50 mhz on the shaders and 160mhz on the memory we are paying £128 more?

Are you serious BFG?!?! Maybe I missed something but I dont think so. Does

Nvidia/BFG think we are completely stupid?

Maybe it is just a good price on the GTX?

maybe not but then why don't they just not buy the chips at stupid prices knowing their customers are not complete muppets. Sadly I know there is a few muppets out there with more money than sense but the majority of people when presented with the numbers should take note.
