The subject line says it all - which is the better choice? The two motherboards are the same price, and other than the Pro also supporting wireless (which is a non-issue for the planned use) have identical (mostly) features. (Multi-GPU is a nice option, though not planned - both boards support it.) PCI support is not present on either board - further, I have an existing PCI-E sound card (therefore, onboard sound is only an issue for OS X).
 
I believe the Hero has a slightly better power phase setup. Other than that pick the one that has the most important for you.
 
I had a hero and liked it, but I doubt you could go wrong either way. A lot of the ROG software is junk though. I wouldn't buy it strictly because of the software.
