Apart from number of ports and slots available is there any actual noteworthy difference between the 2 chipsets? Like capacitor durability and stuff like that?

E: I'm looking for a mini itx motherboard to pair with a i5 4570. Either asus h87i plus or asrock b85m itx. The latter is 30 euro cheaper. Is the price difference worth it?
 
You could just tell us what you want to use it for and we can recommend something:)
I have a chart here, not that detailed tho. If you want a decent gaming rig you go for z87, if the need is not there you can scale down.
 


I'll be gaming mostly. I have a gigabyte gtx 780 reference. A i5 4570 will not bottleneck my gpu so i dont intend to overclock. A z87i pro is too pricy and the asrock z87e itx has the socket too close to one edge of the board and I'm afraid my CM Hyper 412 slim won't fit in the case, bitfenix prodigy. So i was looking at these two motherboards. I'll be gaming at 2560x1080
E: not that the asus z87i pro is too pricy, it's just that if I'm not going to overclock, it's not worth it
