Default 9800GTX vs 260

Does anyone have a good idea of how the 9800GTX compares to the 260? I just realized, that WITH what I paid for the 9800GTX if I decide to STEP-UP, I could pick up a 260 for less than one hundred dollars... For two hundred I could add another 9800GTX, but that might take a new power supply... which route should I go boys?

*EDITED* - rushnerd - I added the important part about using the eVGA stepup program

Default thankfully I found a receipt

Thankfully I found a receipt ... I went ahead and decided to go for the step up to the 260... only 80 bucks! woot... money well spent too bad it's not 2x4870...

And I thought the 9800GTX was the shiet -
