6800XTs in SLI or X1800XT?

[LiveSideways]

Ok, here's the deal:

When I bought my new board (DFI NF4 SLI-D) I got a 6800xt 256MB with it. I know you guys are all going to knock on that card's lack of pipes and stuff, so you have to think of it included in the price I paid, its not like I picked it out.

So anyway, its obvious that the single 6800xt is getting owned in games like F.E.A.R so I need to upgrade. I just wonder what you guys would buy...

For another of the exact card I have now its $114-$40 rebate:

If I dont do that I'm looking at this 512MB X1800XT:

I know the X1800xt would probably be better, but I'm wondering if its $200+ better... Anyone know of any benchmarks comparing this exact setup? Anyone want to suggest a better solution than the ones I posted?

Oh and on my 6800 XT's in SLI I ran the FEAR demo on full settings with no problems.

blackdiamond, aren't those card way better than the 6800XTs im thinking about? I think mine only has like 8 or 12 pipes.

They should be about the same, mine only have 8 pipes.
