You then must have not read the specs of both the mobo. There are just two differences:

1) P5Q Deluxe has 16-phase power management for the cpu, whereas P5Q-E has 8-phase.

2) The Deluxe has onboard SSD storage for ExpressGate, whereas P5Q-E doesn't.

Even the component layout is exactly the same(pull up the photo of both the mobos side by side and see for yourself).

Yes, one more differnce, the EPU in Deluxe has a heatpipe connecting it to the NB heatsink and the P5Q-E doesn't have the heatpipe.

That's why I had said that you could have gone for P5Q-E, instead of the deluxe version and could have saved around 2-2.5k

Anyways, as I had mentioned earlier, it is a very good purchase indeed and do post some numbers.
