Xfire 2 7770's or single 7850?

[Aurellius]

Hey guys, I have a 5850 atm and need to replace it as the fan is slowly dying. I've wanted to try Crossfiring for a while now, and with the price drop on the 7770's, 2 of them is pretty close in price to the 7850. I'm not worried about power consumption, my psu can handle it for sure. Just wanted some opinions on this whole thing, your input is appreciated. Once again, i'm *replacing* my dying 5850, this is not intended as an upgrade.

I'd go with the 7850. the architecture of the cards is different and will give you advantages where the others will fail.
