I'd go further and make it either 655, higher than unaugmented tome but lower than augmented and savage (still has the potential to be BiS depending on what other options you have in the slot), or make it 660 but also have a weekly lockout.

There isn't really any reason to not make it a viable BiS gear option, it is difficult enough to reward high end gear and having more potential gearing options for your BiS would be welcome.
