2060S vs 2070 best of 3 models

[dejans]

Hi,

 

I'm building Ryzen 7 3700x PC and I configured almost everything with MSI RTX 2060S and found out there is also an option of 2 additional 2070 cards i could pick instead, for 40$ more.

 

Models:

INNO3D Dual RTX 2070

COLORFUL iGame Ultra V2 RTX 2070

MSI Gaming X RTX 2060 Super

 

Since I know nothing about Inno3D and Colorful, any suggestions on what to pick?
