Is the GTO2 still the best card for £150

If I was to take the plunge and get one of the Sapphire GTO2s from here, would it be the best card to get for less than £150 inc. VAT, should the bios flash and overclock to near XT PE speeds go ok?

Or have things moved on in the last few months, dethroning the GTO2 as being the 'best bang for the buck?'

Would this card be good enough to run UT2007, as I vaguely recall Mark Rein saying that a 7800GT would be good for the lastest release of this FPS series?
 
About my only worry about getting the x850xt is how long it will be able to cope with games of the future. After posting this thread, I discovered that the 8 series of ATI cards lack SM3, whose use will only grow in future games.

I'm wondering now whether I should spend another £70 above the x850xt and get the Leadtek 7800GT, which is the cheapest I've found a 7800GT so far on the web?
