http://ddr4motherboard.com/compare/ASROCK-FATAL1TY-Z270-PROFESSIONAL-GAMING-I7-vs-ASROCK-FATAL1TY-Z270-GAMING-K6-vs-EVGA-Z270-FTW-K-132-KS-E277-KR

 

12 phase power vs 10 phase, different networking options...not really all that much unless for some reason you need it.

 

Extra edit: oh yeah, the pro gaming has a few more storage options.

 

 

I'd get the Taichi Z270 myself.

"Pro verision" has 1x 5Gbps and 2x 1Gbps. Probably more "features"

The more expensive one has more connectors and some other things

[minibois]

3 vs 4 PCIE 16X slots respectively

 

Probably some more VRM cooling on the more expensive board as well as better power phases.

[Oshino Shinobu]

Things the Professional i7 has that K6 doesn't:

 

5 Gigabit LAN (obviously, you'd need other networking devices that support 5GbE to really use it)

Included WLAN NIC

1 more PCIe 3.0 16x slot

Better power delivery (12 phase over 10 phase and 60A chokes over 45A chokes)

1 more M.2 slot (M Key)

2 more Sata 3 ports

2 Sata Express ports

Displayport Out

Clear CMOS rear I/O switch

 

 

And that's pretty much it. For the most part, it's unlikely to benefit most users.
