which asus x99 mobo

So I am going for an X99 build and I can't decide between a Asus x99-s and Asus x99-DELUXE 

the only difference from what I can see is that the deluxe has 2 x 3.1 and a couple extra USB ports and a few Sata

 

here is a pcpp link for the two comparing:

both are in my budget the only think is I don't want to throw another £100 extra at the deluxe edition if it doesn't offer that much more

so basically is the deluxe edition worth it over the S

I'm of the opinion a cheap X99 board will work fine.

 

RVE is massively overpriced for what you get.

The Asus X99-S is the same as the Deluxe, except it does not have Wifi and don't have have the add on accessories Deluxe has. That board I believe is only available in the UK or something. Get the Deluxe or Pro if you want something cheaper.

The old reviews might seem stupid, but that was the price Amazon was selling at, until they corrected it.
