You'd better look closer

One advantage with 9600 SLI over x2 is that if the x2 breaks you have no PC, if one 9600 breaks then you can still use your PC. But for performance it's very equal, hence why this thread is so long. Both options seem pretty good.

One thing it does show up is that previous nvidia 8500/8600 and 2600 for AMD were not that good as a midrange part. It's no wonder the 8800 GTS 320M and 8800GT were so popular.
