No it wont. 1440 vs 1600 shaders.
So not a massive difference, but a difference.
In addition the better 5870's have better voltage regulators, so might well be more likely to hit 1ghz.
No point flashing the BIOS without good reason - BIOS flashing does nothing that a straight overclock can't do. (except get rid of the OC software)
