Leadtek's 8800GT with Zalman fan

The WinFast PX8800 GT ZL

It's obviously a Zalman cooler, but which one?
Does anyone have some experience with one of these?

The regular 8800GTs are flatter (1 slot vs. 2 slot) so I'm not so sure what would be the advantage to this model, given how quiet the stock 8800GT fans are supposed to be anyway.
Plus, I feel this fan blows more air around my case than towards the back.

Am I making any sense here? Would you get this card over, say, the PX8800 GT GTB?

Thanks...

Looks like the Zalman VF-1000 with the rest of the heatsink chopped off and the same 80mm fan. Zalman really needs to redesign the 80mm fan they use - it completely sucks.

The reference 8800GT fans are supposed to be screamers so I would just get a normal 8800GT and slap a Zalman VF-900 on it.
