Tomorrow's pay day and I'm burning some cash.

I already have one of these:

The original plan was to get two of the same cards but I want to weigh out some other options.

Would it be better to get one of these?

If there's no difference I'll probably go with two fans.

Is it better to SLI the exact same make/model or switch it up?

Same brand or different brands? Or is the result gonna be the exact same either way?

If you've got another suggestion, by all means...

They appear to be exactly the same except for the cooler so I don't see a problem. I am pretty sure as long as they are the same type of card (560ti with 384 cores and 1GB memory) then they will work together even if they are from different manufacturers, but I think if clocks are different then the faster one will clock down to the same frequency as the slower one.
