Upgrade or crossfire?

I'm currently running my setup in my signature.

I'm happy with the current performance in BF3 (Around 40 FPS) but I feel like I want a little more.

I'm using a 650W PSU. Should I upgrade to a better card and sell my 6870 or go for a CF configuration with two 6870's?

If upgrade sounds better, any suggestion on cards? Not really willing to pay more than £200 for one card.
 
I went from 2 5850's to a 6950@6970. I miss the grunt of 2 gpu's but it's nice to know that I don't have to play around with caps / drivers so much.

But based on my experience if I was you I would keep an eye out for another 6870 for £100 ish. Spend 30 mins reading about most stable drivers and stick with them. I only had probs with bf3 when it first came out and new drivers.
