I think it looks very good. Just one idea to the point you already made - I myself haven't heard of magma, before SAGE mentioned it. I've heard about Matlab, I myself used it a lot, but Python + NumPy + SciPy can do everything I myself needed in Matlab. So where SAGE really competes from my point of view is in the Maple/Mathematica area. This is what should be stressed imho. Also, that SAGE has a web interface - the notebook() - with sharing abilities, SSL encryption, etc. So that you can run SAGE on the server and use it from anywhere. This is something, that Maple/Mathematica don't have. Neither Giac (also in the final) has it imho.
