B350 mainboard choise

Hello.

I don't know if I should get the Asus Prime B350-Plus (about 95€) or the Gigabyte AB350 Gaming 3 (about 115€). I can get a free 20€ steam gift card with the Gigabyte one as far as I know. So both would cost the same. And of yourse for the price the Gigabyte one has more features. Some of them are usefull like the 4 diagnostic LEDs or the dual bios but other aren't really that usefull like the integrated RGB lighting. Personally I prefer the BIOS of the ASUS board. Which one of these has the better quality besides the features? The CPU will probably be a R5 1600.

Thanks.

i would go for the Gigabyte board since it has dual bios, i have the Msi B350m mortar, and since the AM4 platform is a brand new platform we might have to flash bios a lot . Had lot of problems with the bios and had to RMA like twice because the mobo won't post...
