can someone tell me the difference between these variations other then the price tag and the difference in the coolers on them (i.e. mosfet heat sink etc)..

Heres a comparison chart: http://promos.asus.com/us/z87/comparison/

 

All these boards vary from features and ports that are included. The middle in the Z87 series boards from Asus imo is the Z87-A. It can do overclocking and the required features that most people need are there.
