$10 difference, 40mhz different clock speeds, am I missing something here?

Windforce card uses reference design PCB while G1 card uses a custom one. So the G1 card has RGB logo on the top but not the Windforce card, 6+1 power phases instead of 4+1, 2 heat pipes instead of 1. The major difference though is the size. Windforce card is 223mm long while G1 card is 278mm long. There are also minor differences in other dimensions. Make sure your case is large enough to hold the card you picked.

the G1 has double heatpipes which I believe provide slight better cooling & also slight better clock rate ..though it doesn't matter if you manually overclock & extra 10$ gives you a little better aesthetics as an example RGB sync light & power indicator light as well. but the size is bit longer as mentioned above so keep that in mind .If you have good case & have your other components maintaining some nice look, then extra 10$ might worth it :)
