Backplate GTX 1060: Is worth to pay more for it?

[Wannieg]

So i'm going to be buying my GTX 1060 6gb this weekend
Right now the two best deals i found in my country were:

GTX 1060 6gb Galax OC = R$1021 (Around U$321)
GTX 1060 6gb Galax EXOC = R$1091 (Around U$343)

Is no that much more and could afford, i'm just not sure if is worth it at all

The big difference between them (with exception of a tiny clock boost in the Exoc that i don't think is such a big deal) is the backplate which i heard is more for aesthetics and is easier to clean (i do that every other month with my current rig which includes a non-backplate GPU). Also to keep the GPU to bend, but is that even a thing?!

Is worth it to pay the extra money for the backplate?

The one with the backplate seems to have upgraded cooling as well. I've never had a backplate on my videocards and never suffered any issues due to that. My feeling is that if you're spending that kind of money on a nice card, get the one you really like. They both will perform basically the same, so you might as well just get whichever one you think is right for you.

The EXOC version is with better cooling: bigger 90mm fans (compared to the 80mm of the OC version) and 2x6mm heatpipes + 1x8mm. The OC version has only 2x6mm heatpipes. For only 20$ more, I would go with EXOC.
