9800 GX2 for £235 or 4870 for £185?

Which is a better deal? I think the GX2 is faster, but can suffer from stuttering and performs worse with AA? Also, was looking to buy a Zalman VF500 for the 4870, just because I like my cards running cool (and it will probably OC better).

What do you guys think? And how loud/hot does the 9800 GX2 run?

What would you guys rather have?

Bump?

I chose the 4870, because it's fast enough at 1900x1200 and will probably offer more consistent performance even if the x2 has higher average framerates.

For both CF and SLI I keep reading about microstuttering, and low performance for games that don't have support in the drivers.

At those prices? I'd get the HD 4870...no brainer.
