I'm having a hard time deciding between these 2 boards for a second Sandy Bridge build. They are both B3 revisions. I've researched them to death. On paper, the Asus seems like a more solid feature packed product, but I've had the best luck with Gigabyte over the last couple of years. I'm looking for some other educated opinions, since I can't make up my mind. I'd appreciate opinions with solid reasoning, not because you are partial to one brand or the other. Please NO additional suggestions for other boards. I've done enough research that I know I want one of these two mid range boards.
