Difference between Asus Z87-A and PLUS?

[tamethegamer]

What is the exact difference between the Asus Z87-A and the Z87-PLUS motherboards?

 

[Traciatim]

The Plus has an extra 2 SATA 6Gbps ports thanks to an additional controller, the A has extra USB3 ports. The Plus has an Intel based NIC rather than the Realtec on the A... that's about all the important stuff.

You know, Asus has a comparison tool right on their website.
