Don't we already have enough satellites to do this

The Hubble Telescope has been infinitely useful though. It will be shame to see it go. But in truth if it is more cost effective and efficent to have a ground based telescope then it is the way forward, hopefully it can free up a lot of funds for other projects.

Anyone seen those new photos of Saturn Cassini (sp?) took?

I believe it's shooting Titan now, not Saturn. AFAIR Cassini is passed the closest to Saturn point and now making trip to the moons.
