The 7600 is a bit overpriced. The 6600 was 329 € at launch (at least in theory), so a 20€ price increase isn't a lot given the inflation of the last couple of years, but the 8GB of the 6600 was ok back then, but it's barely enough for today. It should have matched the price of its predecessor, if not less (299 €).

It makes sense since most of the potential customers are tech savvy enthusiasts that will pair with with a heatsink, but it raises the question about whether the motherboard heatsink some will use is enough or not.
By the way, TechPowerUp reviewed the 2TB model last week, and tested it without a heatsink. It crashes in less than a minute when doing writes: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/corsair-mp700-2-tb/8.html
The Ally looks impressive in some ways and good enough in others. But, given what's going on with Asus right now, the quality control issues need to be taken into account.
