One of the other main reasons is its price point, I think. in any event, I do plan to get an HD 7870 very soon (this week actually). I hope in the future, more people consider these cards. Probably once the price comes down a bit, more people will buy into it.
In the meantime, I have enhanced this "club" of sorts to include a spreadsheet on the front page. I was the first response in the thread, so it was an easy spot to garner attention without having outside or inside members to go to another page. Also, I have always wanted to do a spreadsheet for a thread.
If there are any questions or columns you want me to add to the list, or if you have a 78xx card and want to be added, let me or kabj06 know. I guess we can all try to make something of a club here, but I doubt it'll take off like the 7900 series and GTX 680 clubs have. I really think the 7850 and 7870 are great cards based on the reviews I read. I hope they come down in price a bit more to entice people a bit more.

I really hope this club becomes as large as the last generation's club was!
