The single 270x would give a far better performance boost than crossfire 6950
When you crossfire, you don't get double the performance, as you would think with double the GPU's, so the VRAM would not add up either, 2x 2GB cards will still leave you with 2GB total
Best go for the 270x out of that choice
If had a budget in mind, maybe a better card may be suggested

Incorrect. A 270x is actually a 7870 which only has 25% more performance than the 6950. Crossfire the 6950 and you will have more performance. But are you sure you want to go through the trouble ? The 6xxx series crossfire is a pain the a** and you do not want to go through that. A 270x would give you around 25-30% increase in performance against a single 6950. But the 280x would give you a lot more and you will also be future proof, and when the time comes and it cannot keep up just crossfire that an you would be good to go for a couple more years.
