It's just a few months wait, and you'll get sooooo much for for the same amount of cash if you just have some patience..

I almost regret getting a 8800 GTS GS a few months ago now..
But the good thing is that the 8800 GTS will probably drop quite a bit in price when the new cards arrive, and I'll certainly consider getting a second 8800 GTS to run SLI if they do..
Actually I think you made the right choice concerning the GTS. Its a very good card, they 8600 model would have cost less but you would have much decreased performance, while the 8800GTX is much more expensive. If you dont have the expedible income to get a GTX than the GTS is perfectly good.

Of course you could always get a N92 when they come out too...(the wife doesn't have to know). You do like my mother does, she intercept the credit card bills in the mailbox before my father can read them.
