You could just buy the cheaper one and then set it to the same clocks as the more expensive one

Ones just factory overclocked, go with BigMack70's suggestion buy the cheaper one and overclock it to the others specs.

if you don't mind a manual overclock i would agree a 1000% with big mack. just over clock it yourself. however if you don't like manual or just want a warrantied overclock go with the more expensive card.

does that extra little bit really even matter? frame rate wise at least.

in some games it does and some not as much basically the more brutal the graphics are on the card the more the overclock will help you. in reality it could be the differance of a few FPS...which if you 28FPS on the lower clocked card in game "X" then 30-32fps would not be unheard of on the overclocked card. a differance between being unplayble on one and playble on the other (using 30fps as min playble frame rate). though i doubt ALOt of games would put you in said situation. anyways i am a more is better guy on FPS...i rather spend the ten bucks and be wrong and not need it then get pissed that i do.
