Is it worth it?

I currently have 2 Asus GTX 980 Poseidon in SLI that I bought 4 months ago, built into my water cooling loop, and they are floorless.
But my dilemma is do sell these now and get a pair of 980Ti's. (The ones im looking at are the EVGA Hydro Coppers.)
I've also thought about waiting till the next revision of cards come along, like waiting till next year to change them.
So is it worth the changing now I know that i'm gonna take a loose or should I wait?
 
It's a decent enough leap from a 980 to a Ti but it's a pain in the backside swapping out hardware that's in a custom loop unless you have everything isolated with quick disconnects. It's also a lot of money to sink into a modest upgrade but going by your specs and the products your looking at is it fair to say value for money isn't the be all and end all? Personally I would wait until 14nm comes along and upgrade properly, the pain of draining a loop for the upgrade your getting isn't worth it IMO.
 
If your 980s are running flawless, the cost (two Hydro Coppers from here are £1500 :eek:) and hassle isn't worth it imo. Also could come in to problems trying to sell the Poseidons on certain sites to a fair person which is amplified with dual premium cards. Now I'm on the MM I wouldn't dare sell high value items on the bay or rainforest.

At the moment im not in a rush to change them.
The only reason I went for the Hydro coppers is because of the fact no water blocks for the 980ti's
