ASRock motherboard choice.

[LAOK]

Hey guy, I've put a PCPP list for my next build, linked below. I have decided on all the parts, even bought some already, but I am still torn about the motherboard. After (too) much research I narrowed it down to two ASRock boards: B650M PG Riptide and B650M-HDV/M.2

 

The issue is I'm having trouble figuring out if the Riptide is worth the extra 50+ pounds. From what I can tell the main differences are the better VRMs, more USB and an additional PCIe/M.2 slot. I don't mind it if there are some meaningful upgrades, but I'm wondering if it's not just due to dodgy pricing in my region?
