No diffrence between boards?!?

Any diffrence between these to motherboards. Both seem to have same specs tho one of them is almost £100 more expensive

Board 1: https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-ROG-MAXIMUS-HERO-WI-FI/dp/B07682TLVG/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1532368646&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=asus+rog+maximus+x+hero+wi-fi+ac&dpPl=1&dpID=51QWT2rzPTL&ref=plSrch

I see one difference - even if both have description that WiFi AC is present, only one of them has mounting parts for antennas and "WiFi" on box. So I assume that second one has description taken from "WiFi" version even if has no WiFi module. On ASUS website you can find both versions - "ROG MAXUMUS X HERO (WI-FI AC)" and "ROG MAXUMUS X HERO". Price difference is not worth to pay for Wi-Fi version, unless you want to. Both motherboards are highly overpriced - but it's ASUS.

The WiFi is only £25 more from what I see. And it isn't just WiFi, but bluetooth. So if having both integrated is preferred to having to buy extra dongles then I would snag the WiFi.
