So far i found

• minor component differences like difference capacitors used
• minor look differences if the pictues on their website are totally accurate
• heor has a reset and power on button as well as " 1 x ROG extension (ROG_EXT) header(s) " idk what this is
• hero has 8 vs 6 SATA 6 ports and  comes with 6 instead of 4 SATA cables in the box
• heor has 4 vs 3 fan headers (additionally to CPU header)
• under special features it additionally lists these features for the hero which are not listed for the Ranger:
  • Gamer's Guardian:
    - ESD Guards on LAN, Audio, KBMS and USB3.0/2.0 ports
    - DRAM Overcurrent Protection
    - 10K Black Metallic Capacitors
    - Stainless Steel Back I/O
  • ASUS EZ DIY :
    - ASUS O.C. Profile
  • Media Streamer

Just realised I was comparing VII hero and VII ranger. I am sorry, my bad ...
