Which mini ITX board should I change my B550M for?

As per the title, I’ve been meaning to make my PC into an SFFPC but bought the wrong size motherboard! It’s micro ATX and I believe I need mini ITX.

I don’t understand motherboards well enough to make my own judgement, but I’d love to change like for like just smaller if possible.

In case it helps, specs are:

A b550 itx motherboard something like the ASRock B550M-ITX/ac will cost around £140 or the Gigabyte AORUS B550I PRO AX around £185 ,although the Gigabyte X570 I AORUS PRO WIFI version is simmlar money.

Thank you. I’ll have a hunt for those. Hoping just to sell mine and buy another without having to drop much cash!

Could go b450 itx as your only running a 3600 but only pcie3 .

Drop an add in the wanted section of the members market if you don't mind used.

I used to run that MSI motherboard, then I decided to go SFF build.
