Dual 6800Us take 329W at full load? Geez. Definitely gotta upgrade your PSU for that.

When you think about it, at least IMO, it's not worth the money for SLI for these reasons:
1) Most likey you will need a new PSU. $100 +
2) SLI Mobos will cost more than Ultra Mobos. $50+
3) The 2nd videocard will cost you extra obviously. $200 - $500

So say you went for the $500 6800 GT. If you didn't have to buy a new PSU for 1 card, then that'd save you $100. If you didn't buy the SLI mobo that'd be at least another $50. Now wouldn't it be smarter to save that $650 and sell your 6800GT when the X900 or 6900 came out? It would probably be close in performance and you'd have the extra cash to spare. Less heat...less noise...
