Silly, as usual.
I would wait until nVidia releases something DX11, so prices will be lower on both sides. ATI can afford to charge whatever they wish, because nVidia has no competition right now. Once nVidia has DX11, things will get interesting again.
If you just NEED to scratch the upgrade itch, I have to agree that a second 275 would be a nice upgrade, assuming you have any games that would fully utilize it. As it stands right now, I have yet to play a game I can't max out with my single 4850. I haven't booted Dragon Age yet, but I imagine it's the only one that stands a chance at lagging my system right now.

I see the upgrade as being very well warranted as it saves power and puts off less heat.

2x 5770 CF is obviously the fastest out of those. And if the fastest is what you're after, then get 'em.

Not only that, but you can add a 3rd one later on. Pretty affordable, speedy setup there.

I made a small analysis of your choices from cheapest to most expensive (1 being cheapest):
1. sell your 275, buy a new 5850 [least powerful]
2. sell your 275, buy 2 5770s
3. buy another 275 [most powerful]
My opinion is... option 1 you're looking to just game (casual gamer) or option 3 if you have the money and into hardcore gaming or benchmarking
Btw Im no fan boy but,
