EVGA 9800GTX+ SLI vs. EVGA GTX 260 Core 216 Oc'ed?

Which is better for gaming on Flight Simulator X? NOTE: I will be playing on a 1440 x 900 resolution. The GTX 260 is $175 after rebate and the 9800GTX+ x 2 is $200. Thanks in advance!

Two GeForce 9800 GTX+ in SLI would perform roughly at the same speed as a GTX 285, possibly faster, considering that the 9800 GX2 performs faster than the GTX 280, and the 9800 GX2 is simply two underclocked 8800 GTS G92 in SLI. However, AFAIK, both would be sufficient for playing FSX on maximum settings at 1440 x 900 resolution, your CPU is far more important.

If these benchmarks are right:

Then a single 9800gtx+ would be the best!
