8500 vs. 8500LE, 128mb Cards

[fumbduck]

I am interested in buying a 128mb Video card, i have narrowed it down to the Gainward GF3 128mb, or the Radeon 8500LE 128mb, both of these are around 180$ in price, but the regular radeon8500 128mb is about 250 in price, does anyone know the difference between 8500's and 8500LE's?

The LE 8500 runs at 250 core/mem instead of 275 for the regular.

Actually the biggest difference is the fact the 8500 is a Dual Head card with DVI support and can drive a variety of display configurations, while the 8500LE is a Single head, Dual display card with CRT and TV-out support only. I'm not even sure they are clocked differently like the 64 MB 8500 series cards were/are.
