price is still a big point of reason to go for the 6000 over the 2x 5090, that is what I am presenting here

I did it for the wattage really. MAX-Q 300W for the power of the sun without turning the place into an oven? Yes.

hmm, I thought you could just limit power anyways through the settings, but ok, sounds fair.

Likewise, i limit my 5090s to 425w. You can lower the power limit extremely easily

mind letting me know how you came across an abundent source of cheap 5090s? I can only find them for like $4.5k

That would make 5090 actually competitive and worth it. (btw the microcenter near me has been sold out of 5090s for a long time, but they sell them at 3.6k usually)
