Yes, the 6700XT and 3060Ti are not much more $$$, but I chose to go for the 6600XT because it is the highest card that will run without having to upgrade the power supply. The 3060 draws more power and is slower, and now with FSR 2.0 it seems DLSS isn't such a big deal that it would be worth the extra money. Upgrading to the 6700XT will get a nice memory boost both in size and bandwidth but it goes from 160W to 230W and would require a bigger PSU.
Take that as you will -- there is never a right time to buy and there is never a perfect card. Prices will always change and everyone's needs and situation is different. Don't let people talk you into something using promises, fear, FOMO or FUD. If you need a card and you can run this and have the cash, it is the best bang for buck in the mid-tier class right now.
All of the people kicking themselves for waiting for the 3000 and 6000 series to drop so they could get cheap cards and seeing Covid hit and crypto explode and GPU prices skyrocket couldn't predict the future, and they still can't. No one can.

As to whether it's a good time to buy or not, prices still seem to be dropping so I doubt there are any amazing deals now that won't appear in near future. NVIDIA is also supposed to be releasing their 4000 series, so that'd put downward pressure on this gen as well.
One interesting note is that when I ordered a 3080 from MSI direct, there was no tax involved so that's something to consider.
All manufacturers (including AMD which has their: RX 6750, 6900 and 6950 cards available) have a pretty wide (and getting wider) selection of cards available so you can keep an eye on inventory as well.
A bit faster than a 3060 and a good amount slower than a 3060ti
