That's pretty much correct. Also, most of the ASUS "deluxe" boards are very nice with great onboard features.

Less heat? Don't they use big ass fans?

Asus is the market leader for a reason (I have a few), but from what I have seen and read, the specific board is not their shining glory - can't win them all.

There are better and cheaper choices, but do not take my word for it - here is a link/review that compares 24 mobos, which have the same chipset, 865/875P Chipset.
