Maximus VII Hero vs Sabertooth Z87

[MakotoSGT]

So....

This motherboard, ASUS Max hero went to warranty.

now ASUS offered a Sabertooth Z87 in replacement and they're wondering if im i'll take it.
Its a $80 trade off.

Do you think its worth the trade?
Dont think i can push ASUS to get me another maximus.

You have a Z97 and they want you to take a Z87?????? If it's under warranty, then I'd want the Z97 replaced with Z97. A Hero, Sabertooth, Formula, Pro or the like. The warranty is there to replace it if it goes bad not to replace with an older or less costly mobo. The Hero VI was a Z87, your VII is a Z97
