I found out last night that there are no AM2+ mobos with SLi, so I

That does not appear to be the case. See, for example:
http://www.nforcershq.com/article8323.html

The Asus websites seem to be rather behind in reflecting this information
in the actual product descriptions of the boards concerned -- the Asus UK
website is particularly bad in this respect -- but confirmation can be had
from the CPU support list for the M2N-SLI Deluxe board from the Asus US
website, which lists the Phenom 9500 and 9600 AM2+ CPUs (with BIOS
revision 1302 (from 20th November 2007) only).

2N-SLI%20Deluxe

I doubt any board in the retail channel has that BIOS yet, so you might
find you had to fit the board with an AM2 CPU, upgrade the BIOS, and
switch to the AM2+ CPU afterwards.

Correct, at least for a new m2n sli deluxe 2 weeks ago, was still the
release bios not 1302
