9600 xt vs pro

Where I live (Canada) at a local shop the retail ATI 9600pro is $255, the ATI 9600XT is $260, so it?s a no-brainer to get the XT.

Another consideration might be noise. I?m under the impression that the new larger hsf?s on some of the
XT?s is going to be quieter than the old smaller pro setup.

If the price difference is more than $20US I would probably consider the pro. Less, I would go for the XT, particularly if can be had with the HL2 coupon.
 
I paid an extra $20 and am expecting the XT to come with HL2 (and the bigger heatsink). If it comes with the HL2 coupon and the quieter heatsink/fan, I'll consider it worth it.
