I'm not sure what happened with crossfire that's made it so bad. Last gen it was touted as wiping the floor with SLI. This gen, it sucks. :\
Be that as it may, I think you should go with a 7900. Once O/C'd they hang with 590/6990. So, they'll give you all of the performance of 2x6950 without having to worry about driver profiles, power usage, noise (if you get a quiet one like the MSI TFIII or Sapphire Dual-X), and you'll get the improvement in features that having a next gen part brings.
