the hd 5850 uses less power, is dx11 compatible, eye finity (if you should have a desire to use such a fetaure) and finally its FAR more readily available as opposed to the hd 4870x2.
thatd be about it
oh it also scales better in crossfire if im not mistaken
X2 also has micro-stuttering, I would go the 5850Amith12
All CF/SLI setups have a chance of having that, and even some single GPU cards could cause some lock up stuttering so you shouldnt base a decision on that.
