Choice of mobo: S2H vs UD2H

From what I see both mobos use the same BIOS offering excellent adjustments. There's more voltage settings (CPU & chipset related). No disabling of SSC (Spread Spectrum Clock) - will have to get GB to modify BIOS.

Problem I'm having is which mobo to choose. I like UD2H for its added "copper" quality (especially the Ground plane). S2H offers less complications (less RAM and cleaner PCI interface). RAM interface is not too much of an issue as the new CPU's disable unused RAM slots. Problem is the PCI interface - firewire is added on UD2H. If soundcard is PCIe or USB, choice would be UD2H.
