Why run a 1660 Ti when you can save a few Quid and get equal performance with the Super?

Why run a 1660 Ti when you can save a few Quid and get equal performance with the Super?

I just went with the fastest, for their budget. I hadn't looked at the reviews in awhile, and yea the 1660s makes more sense, price/performance wise.
