Looking for an 1155 motherboard for my PC build, and it's sort of a tossup between these two.

The Sabertooth has a little more support to it, but the Gigabyte is also $100 cheaper. I'd prefer to minimize my budget the best I could while still building a high-end PC. I also hear that some Sabertooths were DOA and Asus' support is a total bitch to get through. Anyway, is there anything big I'd be missing out on if I get the Gigabyte vs. the Asus?
I have the Z77X-UD5H and I love it. I'd imagine something like that is just cut down feature wise, but still reliable. Really if the features it offers works for you, that's $100 saved or that can be invested elsewhere. Plus the D3H has a PS2 port which is awesome for mechanical keyboards.

Oh and just to mention, the first "thermal armor" boards from Asus actually increased temperatures at times, so you might want to read some reviews of the sabertooth if you decide to go with it.
Alright, thanks for the help!
If you ask me, you should never spend to much more than $150 on a motherboard unless you need more than two graphics cards running at the same time.
