Take the ACT or two subject tests?

Hi all,

I received my SAT scores from the May exam and scored 1280/2000. As a junior now and a senior graduating in '09, I have been looking at various colleges that require either two SAT subject tests or the ACT (with the writing).

My main question is, what do you suggest is the better route? Abandon my 2000 on the SATs and take the ACT (which I am unfamiliar with), or take two SAT subject tests? Any help to this dilemma is appreciated.

BTW, the schools I have looked at that require the SAT subject tests are, currently, Boston University and possibly my reach, Boston College.
