So I was thinking of going for glory and although I haven't benchmarked any of my combined setup yet, I was wondering if it would be a better decision to ditch the 5970,5870 and the 5850 and just purchase 3 2gb 5870 E6 editions, or perhaps buy another 5970?

Basically I only have a 1080p screen and so I don't really think I'd be needing a 2GB tri-fire setup in the first place...
Considering that I have spent $1570 on the 5970+5870+5850. But now I'm hungry for more and am wondering if ditching the 5850, and adding a 5970+5970+5870 would be ideal? That would leave me with spending 700 more and getting rid of the 5850 so about $500 to equal $2000.
Or would it be simply worth it to sell all 3 cards and invest in 3 tri-fire E6 5870s? Those would cost me a total of approx $1609 after taxes.
