Is that "edge" worth another +$50?

IDK the card isn't out yet, it's due May 14 there will be reviews then. That should also coincide with better 28nm supply which should mean that there are more GTX680s available as well which hopefully will mean price drops on the GTX580 so it's worth waiting to see how the 670 mesures up anyway.

It's rumored to be ~20% slower than a 680 and be priced arround $400 in the USA so it might be cheaper and faster than a 580 in some games

Prices on 580's have already been dropping since the 680 released. I just picked up a pair of new GTX 580's at a really great price. ( two of these http://www.galaxytechus.com/usa/productview.aspx?id=165 )

I got them both for the price of 1 GTX 680 here in Japan!

With the rumours of the GTX670 being close to the performance of the 580 (probably higher in games but lacking in compute like the 680) and use a lot less power and also be cheaper ($399 has been hovering arround for the 670 http://videocardz.com/32476/geforce-gtx-660-ti-and-gtx-670-specification-leaked) it should push prices down further. It will likely be a better buy than a 580, I mean a quick check on newegg shows that 580s still go for $400+ so 670 could be a much better buy. 

Worth waiting for a couple weeks or so anyway
