SLi GTX460 to GTX580 - worth while or wait?

Given that I can make a few quid back by selling the pair 460s, is there much to be gained by switching to a single 580?

Witcher 2 and Starcraft 2 don't go too well with Sli, but it could be much worse in fairness. Last years games work fantastic with SLi. I might actually be seeing the infamous micro-stuttering in newer titles. I fear for Battlefield 3!

BTW, I'm running an i7 860 @ 3.6ghz

Anyone out there actually done this switch?
 
Ended up getting a great deal on a second hand GTX580. Wow, it's quite a bit better than the sli 460's!!
 
Well after flogging the two 460s and getting a decent second hand price on the 580, the price was fairly meager given the difference in performance. Turned out to be well worth it.
