nforce 7 chipset worth it?

was looking at the Asus P5N32-E PLUS SLi nForce for my upgrade some time next month.

have noticed that the nforce 7 chipset boards are on pre-order, are they worth the extra cash?

note that its an extra £70 odd for the Asus P5N-T Deluxe nForce 780i

is it worth the extra cash for out of the box 45nm processor support and three PCIe slots all running at 16X at the same time?

Well dont buy a 650 or 680, the 750 and 780 should be better.

I believe the middle slot is only 8x if all 3 are used at same time.

I am not that intrested in SLI, i like the idea of having the fasility so when the 9's come out and the 8's drop in price or pick one up second hand to get a bit of a boost.

I am interested in making my motherbord as future proof as possible whilst not wanting to go to the lengths of DDR3

Does anybody know what the ETA of these boards are?
