I'd rather just run one card, and not have to worry about powering two cards. Not to mention the extra heat that multiple cards produce as well as the reduction in airflow from having to give up extra room for another card.

Higher power consumption, more heat and less airflow is not worth the $20 I'd save in dollars per performance metric.
