Mountain Lion introduces :
Keyboard shortcut for Save As:
Use Command-Shift-Option-S to save a document using a different name and location.

Allan added Command-Shift-S back in for Lion. (Thank you.) But now looks like it should be mapped to Command-Shift-Option-S  to be consistent and not conflict with the following.

In Mountain Lion Command-Shift-S  will be Duplicate.

Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - See everything the new OS X can do.

At least Apple added back Save As, but screwed up the keyboard shortcuts in the process.
