Well if they are about the same price, the 216 is the smart choice, because the "FTW" card is just OC'd, which you can do with the 216 core one.

The Core 216 variant WILL be faster than the FTW version as it has one more node on the chip enabled.
Overclocking them is a cake walk.
All you need is RivaTuner.
