Is Asus Z170 Maximus 8 Hero good?

[rans]

i was thinking upgrading my board to overclocking board. i plan to buy aorus z270 gaming 5 but then suddenly a local shop post a sale of Asus z170 maximus 8. it is only 150$ is it worth to buy it? I mean does the feature of z280 gaming 5 is not so far for maximus 8 hero? 
Thanks if you are going to share your opinions!

damn good. depending on the CPU though, it may need a BIOS update for it to even POST.

i have i7 6700k 
I'm really gigabyte fan making it for me hard to decide but the z270 gaming 5 is almost 250$ here.
Does the asus maximus 8 hero have led strip lights connection?
