I have a Tuniq Tower and a case with great airflow so as long as I can do at least 3.2ghz I will be happy. I have my $5 down at tankguys so I know eventually I will be able to go with the G0 stepping.
I think you made the right choice. A Q6600 for app $300.00 shipped and a guaranteed G0 Step from Tank guys is the best deal going right now.
The 45nm stuff might do 10% clock for clock more but cost twice as much or close to that..
If I was in the market for a quad I'd do just what you did. It's the smart play.
