Discussion ASUS Z390-P vs. -A - Is Better Audio & LAN worth $70?

[hobkirk]

The two MB specs appear virtually identical about things I care about except for built-in video, audio, and LAN - Are these differences significant (i.e., worth $70 extra)?

• Z390-A, $180 - Realtek ALC S1220A 8-Channels, LAN Intel I219V . . , Intel HD Video
• Z390-P, $108 - Realtek ALC887 w/ 7.1 channels-, Realtek RTL8111H, Intel UHD Graphics
• Both LAN chipsets offer 10/100/1000

My CPU will be an i5 9600K w/ a GTX 1660 Super
Thanks, thanks, thanks
