MSI B85M-G43 vs MSI B85M-E45

Hello gentlemen and gentle ladies. I can't seem to see any difference in the two motherboards, specs anyway.

What's the difference?

One has two physical x16 PCIe slots (G43) and the other has one with a PCI slot in the lower position (E45).

Is this the only difference?

It's the only main feature difference I can see.

I had a closer look on some hd photos of the two boards (Cheers google) and some of the ports (like sata, usb 3 etc) are angled making they wayyy easier for my small case. They're also placed closer to the front of the case on the motherboard, again making it so much cleaner

These is the main reasons I've gone for the board. Thank you or your help
