You're Lightning's are beast....no way I would upgrade to the 700 series if I were you, like you said they should be plenty of power for a long time coming. Also just wanted to say, I've seen you around this thread as a regular, and your posts are very helpful, so thanks for that.

I have 2 of these LTG blocks from EK and fantastic temps all over. I added some prolimatech PK-3 to each of the phase capacitors and temps are superb. I have put 1.5V through and the highest temps I have seen is 52C on anything (core/ram/vrms). on normal operation, it runs around 40C. My ambients are 23C.
My only advice is if you use the bridge, be carefull. One of mine wouldn't sit well and after 3 reseats and fluid leaking, I gave up and made my own link system for SLI. The other bridge is fine though, so hopefully just a one off. (O rings looked good and I couldn't see anything visibly wrong with the bridge).
It will show quickly if you have a problem but I am sure I was just unlucky

When under water, give it some

Edit:
It is quite apparent that the 7970 is faster than the normal 680 but the cards we have are not normal 680s...We have the best 680s out
