Looking at motherboards and couldn't find much a difference between these 3 even though there's quite the price gap. The only real, noteable thing I can find is the IX HERO doesn't offer standard 2133mhz ram speed and the others do (even though the older Hero DDR4 boards did? ...seems like an interesting choice out of asus but whatever lol):

IX Formula - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=13-132-925

Or if there's any other Z270 suggestions (or otherwise) feel free to let me know! Thanks guys

you're paying for aesthetics, cooling, and more onboard LED lighting as you go up the scale. Unless you're wanting to water cool your motherboard, i'd just go with the Hero and put the money saved towards a 960 M.2 drive.
