Y'know... 9500 PRO vs. Ti4200

[lumen]

I was all set to order a new Ti4200 - good performance for the money right? But now I look at the benchmarks and the comparisons between these two cards, and sheesh.... I saw the price of the 9500, good god! It really looks like the 9500 pro is really the way to go, driver issues aside...

What do you think?

Also from the looks of it, the sapphire version of the 9500 seems to be better built for OC'ing...

Opinions?

Do be aware that the 9500 and the 9500 Pro are different cards, and that the 9500 is the one that can sometimes be patched to near 9700 Pro specs, not the 9500 Pro. I have a 9500 (again, not the Pro) which patched successfully, and at half the cost of a 9700 Pro I'm a happy camper.
