Should exchange my single 780 for dual 970?

I have a GTX 780 in my system right now but i want more graphics power because i will upgrade to a triple monitor setup with the dual 970. So i was wondering if the upgrade is worth it?

 

 

Ps: I contemplated buying another 780, but my specific model is very hard to find and when i find it is almost the price of the two 970s.

 

 

Thank you

You don't have to SLI with the same exact model, as long as it is a 780 with the same amount of VRAM it will work fine.

But it is worth it to upgrade to dual 970? it has more vram for my triple monitor setup and MFAA and things like that.
