the upgrade path is better so you can upgrade to broadwell(5th generation) when it comes out

From looking at gigabyte's highest end z97 board I would also point out that you can run two pcie3.0 slots at x16 (not x8x8, x16x16)

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs

There are a few others as well. Thats specifically why I returned my z97 SOC FORCE, because althought it was a very beautiful looking board, and seemed really well built (I dont know overclocking, but I know quality construction when I see it) it did'nt have two

x16 slots.

 

So now I will have to fork out the dough for that $369.00 board. still, worth it?

 

Edit: It states that its got two x16 slots, although it says nothing about running sli or xfire in dual x16, I saw somewhere, someone said z97 is the first to allow two cards in x16 mode.

Looks like now you can put quad SLI in LGA1150 though. Thats cool
