I would chosen the 4870 over the 5870. The 5870 just was continuation of the 4870, which really was the generation that pulled Radeon from the disaster that was the HD 2000/3000 series.
That was my thought, the HD4000 cards were a much bigger deal when they came out. The reasoning they have is weird too, they said the 4870 fell short because it didn't beat the 280 but then talked about how the 5870 was great despite not beating the 480. They were both great cards but the 4870 marked a return to competitiveness for Radeon.
