This sort of pricing isn't new (at least it was common until about 6 months or so ago). Intel has always charged a disproportionate increase in $ vs increase in performance for their highest end.

The buyers are either first adopters, or users that requrie the highest performance regardless of costs.

I would agree with you that the 1.7GHz price is a better deal, but if Intels can get an extra 200$ for that extra 100 MHz - why not.
