So you mean when they release the 6950?
No... when they make a 6990 card that only uses 1 GPU and is more powerful than a 6970 then I will consider one. Until then I'm sticking with

It will be a while before a single GPU card can beat the HD6990.

I think I was getting confused on what you meant by "power", I thought you were complaining about power consumption, then going with 2 HD6970. Performance wise, yeah, the 2 HD6970 should be better because the HD6990 is 2 lower clocked HD6970 cores with slower RAM.

choice of 3 over here in the UK
Yikes! 550 GBP = 888 USD. That hurts worse than over here.
EDIT - That's including VAT. Without VAT is 458 GBP = 740 USD. A hundred bucks in taxes; that's gotta sting a bit.
Great, Do you think 2 6990's will hit 60,000 in Vantage with a i7 930 OC'ed to 4.4GHz or 4.5GHz?
