One 68GT or Ultra performs as well (or better) than 2 66GTs in SLI, also you have the option for adding another later on.

yes, i decided to go for 1 6800GT instead of 2 6600GT's
just because 1 6800GT performs just as well (and consumes less power)

The numbers don't quite add up for a pair of 66GTs to trounce a 68U. The only gain the 66GTs have is core speed
