uh no, two GTX 280s are actually faster and utterly destroy 4870s at higher resolutions

No, not really. It's currently 2xGTX280s. At least until the 4870X2 is released (I would have gone with a pair of those if I hadn't gotten traded up to a pair of GTX280s for free... or if I didn't have to swap out my motherboard for it...)
Not a real benchmark, but I personally think that this gives you a better reference than the raw numbers.
As for SLIing your current card, go for it (if you have a monitor 24" or larger, like others said). SLI nowadays will usually yield a 50-80% increase depending on the application. Sometimes it's 0%, however, if the developers don't take advantage of it at all. (Although you can sometimes get it to work with one of the alternate frame rendering modes.)
Another thing to note for other people is the difference between the 9800GX2 and the GTX280. The GX2 as it currently stands will give you higher average framerates than the GTX in certain games, however the GTX280 will tend to have higher minimum framerates, which I think is also very important. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
