Too late to change but 7850 question

Ok so here is the deal, a friend I build a couple of computers for needs some more work/mods done to his A10 5800k build and an older dell that needs to be reworked for a HTPC. Nothing major 3 or 4 hours work total. So He wanted to use the hybrid cross fire with a 6670 gpu, and just so happen to have a near new xfx 6670 in my old hp.. so here is the deal I struck with him, I do all the work for nothing and put my 6670 in his A10 build and he bought me a XFX 7850 DD 2gb card. Now I had to make the decision on the fly and picked that one due to cost ($169.99 after rebates) and what I could remember off the top of my head... So did I make a good deal, I mean I feel I did but its kinda an older card, I have a little buyers (well sorta buyer) remorse about not getting a 7870, is there really that much difference? Keep in mind its replacing an XFX 6770 that will now replace the 6670 I am putting in to his system... Also know that if he is really unhappy about performance of the hybrid crossfire I will give him the 6770 in a pinch.

Highest temps I have seen are less then 50C after 2 hours on WoW, mostly ultra settings btw. VERY pleased with my new card.... Thanks again.
