Another Asus vs Gigabyte

[crabdog]

Was just wondering if anyone has experience or an opinion on either of these boards:
ASUS M4A89GTD-PRO
GIGABYTE GA-890GPA-UD3H

I'm not seeing a reason for the ASUS board costing so much more although admittedly I haven't delved too far into it. Due to past experiences I favor Gigabyte products but if the Asus if offering something special I will consider it.

Thanks in advance

Are these the motherboards you are comparing?

ASUS: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131631
Gigabyte: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128435

The ASUS has a few more features that the Gigabyte board doesn't:
1) E-Sata connector on the I/O Panel
2) An PCI-e x4 slot
3) Higher supported memory

Doesn't like the Gigabyte board
1) Doesn't have a SATA II slots, which you can still run all of your SATA II devices on SATA III slots.

If you are buying from Newegg, I would get the ASUS, since it is a little better board currently at the same price
