What's the difference between the Asus B450 MOBOs?

Between these:  

B450M-K

B450M-A

B450M-PLUS

B450 (non M)

the difference? they come out of different lines of asus, have a little more or less rgb, aura, that's about it

 

but I wouldn't recommend buying them

These?

Different board features, like SATA amount and USB amount. Power delivery seems relatively similar on all

Would the reasons you wouldn't recommend them matter to an average consumer? I just want something that works and is cheap, I don't have that many options

because there are cheaper and better alternatives. all of these have no vrm heatsink and are imo overpriced for what they can deliver. what would be your budget and what ryzen chip do you want to use?

The chipset doesn't really matter for me but AM4 mATX / ATX MOBOS seem to be very limited in stores near me  Im only worrying about having enough USB ports for my peripherals, SATA ports and PCIE lanes but I have 0 idea about any of this

 

These (ignore the orange border ones) and these (up to that 415shekel MOBO) are my only options

from those I would rather get the aorus board. that one at least has a vrm heatsink at looks like a way better quality board

I have the Gigabyte B450M-DS3H in use with a Ryzen 5 2600. With the stock Ryzen cooler, I got this to 3.7ghz all cores. With an aftermarket cooler and better thermal paste, I got this to 4ghz all cores. Happy with the board. Note the one on the website states it is Micro ATX, which mine is not. The only Micro ATX boards on the Gigabyte website are Aorus ones. So not sure whats going on there. The Micro ATX ones often will cut out a few extra ports and often have only two DIMM slots instead of four.
