I'm going to buy my computer like next week or 2 weeks from now and with the 97 boards that came out I'm not sure if the ones that I can get right now are better than the B85 Killer. I know they are better for the compatibility with new cpus that will come out but can they be better than the B85 Killer in everything else?
My configuration is going to be:

Corsair 200R Window
XFX Pro 550W Core Edition
B85 Killer @ 80.90€
i5 4570
2x4GB GSkill Sniper CL9 Low Voltage
Crucial M500 120GB
Seagate Barracuda 1TB
and later a Gigabyte R9 270X Windforce OC or a MSI R9 270X Twin Frozr

and the H97 I can get right now are:

ASRock H97 Pro4 @ 81.70€
Asus H97-Plus @ 96.60
MSI H97 Guard Pro @ 96.70
ASRock Fatal1ty H97 Performance @ 98.90€
Asus H97-Pro @ 105.90€
MSI H97 Gaming 3 @ 106.90€

So is any of these H97 better than the B85 Killer?

Little late, but:

H97 would get you nothing more in performance with a non "K" CPU, because you can´t overclock your CPU.

The main difference is that H97 boards do have more expansion possibilities, like more SATAIII ports and more USB 3.0.
6x SATA 6Gb/s (H97)
6x USB 3.0 (H97)

4x USB 3.0 (B85)
4x SATA 6Gb/s (B85)

Onboard audio chips are different, but thats not chipset dependent, thats brand and model dependent of the Mainboard
some have thunderbolt onboard

most H97 boards you listed have a 1x M.2 10Gb/s slot
