So right now the only real basic differences I can see are some extra USB ports, SATA, and a mini Displayport that's not on the Z97 pro.  

 

These are the differences I'm a little less familiar with and I was hoping you guys could help explain:

 

Z97 Deluxe is has a 16 phase power design and the Z97 Pro has a 12 phase power design.  What are the advantages here?

Above, what are the benefits of dual LAN Chipsets with Dual speeds?  I have never even heard of this.

 

Last, I mentioned the mini displayport above.  Is there anything major that is due out that will utilize a mini Displayport?

 

Thanks!!

no advantage to the deluxe. get the pro. haswell does not need 16 power phases for awesome overclocking.

What about the mini Displayport and Dual Lan Chipsets?  What are their benefits?
