i've got a 9700 pro 128mb, is it worth the upgrade to the 9800 256mb pro?

i've heard the 9800 isn't a whole lot of improvement over the 9700 besides clock speed, the gpu itself isn't really different.

so, is it worth it, or is there something else coming out from ati in the near future that would change things? i probably won't buy one unless i find someone to buy the old card, no sense in wasting cash. but it doesn't really seem all the necessary to get a 9800 128mb, i doubt i'd really be improving much an overclock couldn't fix.

just curious on your thoughts.
