Anyone disappointed with AM5 X870 boards?

I was originally looking at the MSI B650 Tomahawk for my next build but the X870 Tomahawk adds:
  • Higher quality 8 layer PCB instead of 6.
  • A debug post code.
  • Clear CMOS button on back panel.
  • An additional M2 socket.
  • PCIE 5.0 for the GPU and two of the M.2 slots.
  • A completely redesigned BIOS interface.
  • Support for 9000 series out of the box.
  • WiFi 7
  • USB 4.0
To me this is worth the extra cost, and also to be on a newer board which is likely to be supported for longer. I don't really get the whole "it's just B650 with USB 4" that gets thrown around.

Could look at 650E as some boards have those features this mine


Can't see point of wifi 7, usb 4 myself.
 
Gigabyte have £25 cashback on the X870E Aorus Pro, pretty decent board as long as you don't use the 2 CPU B/C M.2 slots. I got that one for my 9800X3D system.
