Do you think it was smart of Apple to go with ATI graphics cards in the latest refresh of iMacs rather then stay with NVIDIA?

It is always debated amongst gamers and multimedia users which company puts forth the best graphics cards. In the late 2009 model of the iMac, Apple included NVIDIA GeForce 9400M GPU's for the $1199 models. But in 2010, Apple switched over to ATI Radeon HD 4670 for the same price. Do you think it was a good idea for them to do that? Or do you believe one would be better off buying last year's NVIDIA model WITHOUT taking into considering the change in processors (Intel Core 2 Duo to Intel Core i3).

I have the 27" Quad Core i7 iMac (2.8GHZ) with he ATI Radeon HD 4850 and it is great. I can run games at full graphics. I even got Crysis full on a Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit partition. I think it was a wise choice by Apple. The newest refresh just enhanced this.
