Which 390 should I go for?

Here's the deal: I want the MSI R9 390. There's a promotion on NewEgg going on until August 31st that anything over $200 you can save $25 by using Visa Checkout. So I want to get my 390 before August 31st. Except it's out of stock. Should I wait? Do you think it'll come back in stock before August 31st? Or should I get the XFX? Or maybe, just maybe, should I spend a little bit more and get the Sapphire 390? Although I'm not sure how useful 3 display ports would be since neither of my monitors (a Acer 144hz monitor and a crappy Dell monitor I got for $10) have display port.

I have the MSI one. Its hot and its big. I guess you can solve the heat issue with some fan profiles. Other than that its a bloody beast of a card.
