Gigabyte X38-DS4 and X38 DS5, differences?

Anyone here know what the differences are between these two mobos? I've just done a good deal on an X38-DS5 which should be coming tomoz or the day after, and I was wondering what if the performance/overclocking potential, etc might be better on the DS5. I would have gone for the DS4 as its a bit cheaper, but the price on the DS5 was just too good to miss.
Anyone know?

only difference is two more SATA ports and a pipe that connects the southbridge and northbridge coolers

As far as I can see the DS4, DS5 and DQ6 are all pretty much identical - just different cooling and maybe a few extra bits here and there.
