Will the prices of new coffee lake motherboard go down?

Hey guys,
So I'm in a hunt for a budget 8th gen motherboard (i5-8400). The new coffee lake motherboard is out which supposed to be cheap but by looking at the prices in uk(amazon) it doesn't seems like its cheap. The prices (of mATX) are almost same as z370s motherboard which doesn't make any sense. Is it because it is still new in the market and will the prices go down soon?

I was looking to buy the B360M DS3H but the price of this almost same as z370p D3 which supports overclocking and faster ram speed and better in some other factors. I'm confused should i buy the z370p as it is more future proof and price is almost same as B360m or should i wait couple of more weeks to see if the prices of the new coffee lake motherboard go down. (Note: H310 doesn't have all the things i need so I'm not planning to get that) . Thanks in advance!

matx is usually more because it need to pack feature into smaller space.

So you think it won't go down? Should i go with z370p then because its more future proof (may help if i decide to upgrade)?

Prices are usually fairly stable till their no longer made then they will start jacking the prices way up.
