Which Motherboard is better between the Asus Rog Strix B550-F and the MSI MPG B550 Gaming Edge

I'm looking for a decent overclocking motherboard for the Ryzen 5 5600X, after a lot of searching I've gotten stuck between the Asus Rog Strix B550-F and the MSI MPG B550 Gaming Edge.
The Cost difference between the 2 boards exactly 10 dollars and I know of the Intel-I225V Ethernet chip issue, that hasn't swayed my decision.
Does anyone know which is a better choice.

One has WiFi bundled, while the other doesn't, one has a better audio capacitor layout than the other, one seems to have a better heatsink and VRM arrangement than the other. I'd side with the Asus and just go off the Ethernet or connect a wireless adapter to the motherboard's USB port.
