Gigabyte GA-H110M-A vs GA-H110M-DS2 motherboard difference?

[Redelyx]

Hello everybody.

I'm planing my next pc build at the moment, and I looked around for a motherboard.
I stumbled across the Gigabyte GA-H110M-A motherboard on PCPartPicker and decided to go with it as it had good reviews and fits the needs for my upcoming pc.
That was until I found out that the card isn't available in my country. Kinda sad. Soon after I found the GA-H110M-DS2 card. I couldn't find any reviews on the board, so I don't really know if it lacks some features the GA-H110M-A had.

I just wanted to know if there is a noticeably difference between the two cards. Is one better than the other?

Thanks

(best answer will be chosen)

I'm only seeing different I/O.

The H110M-A has HDMI onboard and 4 USB 2.0 ports (+2 USB 3.0) and 2x PS/2 mouse/keyboard.

The H110M-DS2 has 2x 2.0 ports, 2x 3.0 ports, a serial port & a parallel port (for unknown reasons).

The H110M-A would allow you to use HDMI rather than older standards if you had to troubleshoot without your GPU installed............ other than that, I see no noteworthy differences.
