Arctic Cooling's new Accelero Twin Turbo VGA Cooler

I'm interested in doing some moderate OC'ing on my new 4850, and with stock cooling at stock speeds the card runs a little warm for my tastes. My temps are 67C-68C idle and 85C @ load, which isn't that bad, but it's not great either. I figure that with decent after-market cooling on the card I can run it at near 700MhzCore/1050Mhz+Memory with no issues, and do it at lower temps than stock. I was planning on buying a 4870 but I couldn't pass up a Visiontek 4850 from BB out the door for US$160. So now I'm tempted to OC and see how much I can close the performance gap between the two cards. This brings me to my proposed solution: an Arctic Cooling heatsink and fan.

I was attracted to the Accelero S1 Rev.2 + fan until recently, when I heard about a new AC heatsink w/ integrated fan, the Accelero Twin Turbo. The new unit would be preferable over buying an S1+fan, assuming that the performance is comparable or better for the price. But I can't seem to find them in e-tail, and there doesn't seem to be much in the way of reviews for the unit yet. I'm thinking that I probably won't be able to find the product for a while because it was just recently announced.

If anyone knows of any reviews for this new unit or has seen it at e-tail, a link would be much appreciated. I haven't looked very hard, but the only info I've been able to find has been from AC's own website:

I coulda sworn I saw this and another cooler (I think the other cooler was called the battle axe) like it at my local microcenter. The price was a bit high, something like $80 or more for one of them.
