No, the Asus board is better. But you don't need to get such expensive board, any Z170 will do, just pick the board that has the features you want/need

Like take my current situation, I'm going to spend 50 pounds more to get an asus x99 motherboard simply because it has white on it (white and blue build so...gotta spend the pretty pennies for the white) although I would be happy with something cheaper but oh well :P
