Wait to upgrade or SLI with old?

Hey guys, I currently have a single GTX 570 that I am using, and I found myself needing more memory.

Seeing as the 570s are no longer made, I was wondering if it would be better to buy an additional used 570 and SLI them (I found one for $180, though I would probably be able to negotiate more), or wait until the 700 or 800 GTX series comes out (or the AMD equivalent).

If I upgraded, I may or may not get 2 to SLI, depends on the price and my budget at the time.

Any thoughts?

I vote for getting 1 strong card instead of 2 of the same cards because not all games scale properly with 2 cards. Plus, you might have forgotten that 5xxGTX series consumes TONS of power, you'll need at least a 850/950w PSU, if you don't have one already, don't bother upgrading it now just to get a second card, just wait for the new releases :)
