It certainly would be a cheaper alternative, but at the cost of losing (I think) superior optimization that NVIDIA will bring to the PS2 experience.

We still do not know how truly much PhysX is going to be playing into this game. I have seen a few possible predictions, but it could just be mediocre and not worth the $100 premium.
AMD driver support for single cards is nearly flawless from my experience. On the other hand I will say their Crossfire support does have many issues from when I had 5770 Crossfire. My biggest issue was getting support for when new games come out.
I still think it is worth putting it in there. If the Nvidia cards prove to be that much better the user can either sell the AMD card for the next gen Kepler, or just pick up a cheap Nvidia card (GT 430) for PhysX processing.
