well the 40 gig might make sense to replace the 60 gig at the $500 price point, and it will be cheaper to produce than the 60 gig because of no EE. I just don't see them dropping the price already...again. Obviously once the 60 gig is gone they don't have a $500 system anymore, so they would either have to wait until basically every system is gone and lower the 80 gig to $500, or they could come out with a new SKU to replace the 60 gig.
Overall it's just terrible design though, they should never have had EE in the PS3 in the first place. I'm pretty sure that's the only reason why this 80 gig SKU is happening, and why this new SKU is neccessary.
