Hello, considering the 280x is a rebranded 7970ghz, should I get the 7970 DirectCull for 309 with 7% off or the new 280x with the NEW DirectCull model. However, I like to keep my rig pretty, the 7970 has a sexy backplate while the other doest not :( . Should I sacrifice (maybe) some power and cooling for a backplate? Any thoughts? Thanks.

I'm not 100% familiar with the cards yet, but as far as backplate goes, will you see the bottom card doesn't have that sexy backplate underneath the 7970 you all ready have? Personally, I think you'd be happy either way performance wise, as the cards are really the same silicon.
