which of these 2 z390 boards would you choose??

I am interested to hear some thoughts on this. I ordered a Hero this morning.
 
My go to has been MSI motherboards, and I have to say it offers more in this case as per usual for the buck.
The Asus board has a few things going for it though;
#1 better looking
#2 an extra M.2 heat spreader, and
#3 they generally have a more refined bio than MSI at release,
#4 Intel LAN, and
#5 their fan headers are all PWM controlable.
On the other hand MSI;
#1 has a beefier power delivery system with two 8 pins vs. 1-8 and 1-4pin EPS on Asus for better overclocking,
#2 more frequent bios updates,
#3 more M.2 slots and
#4 more USB ports, and
#5 their apps usually work better than Asus Apps,
so for me, it's a winner, but as per usual it all boils down to what you want and how you use your system otherwise they are pretty similar.
