I have no particular plans to overclock at the moment; if the desire strikes, would it be sensible to purchase an aftermarket cooler at that time?

don't even worry about it, these CPUs can OC to 4.5 with stock cooler in a lot of cases, you can easily run 4 without even trying.

Seriously?

I think I just saved me some money.

32nm manufacturing process results in CPUs running much cooler due to lower power requirements, that's for sure.

Yup, that I knew, but I didn't know it ended up doing such huge benefits.

Can't wait for Ivy Brdige if so.
