overly a good looking board, resonably priced for SLI, BIOS is nice with graphs, DVI, HDMI, Display port and VGA is a nice option, price is good.
I usually budget 70-100 for a good mid range board for my customers. Looks like this is going to be a contender.
Does look nice, although perhaps a little crowded around the CPU socket? Could be fiddly with some coolers.
Interesting that M.2 and SATA-Express are coming onboard (no pun intended) at the same time... will be interesting to see which standard gains more traction of the two.

I actually quite like the gold colour scheme of my Z87 Pro, the new scheme is less exciting, but this is only a basic board so we will have to wait and see what the enthusiast boards are like.
I can't help thinking that, from a hobbyist's viewpoint the backward compatibility of SATA-Express will be more useful than the M.2 connector, allowing drives from a previous build to be re-used. I have already missed one generation of on-board storage, ignoring the mSATA slot in the middle of my current motherboard in favour of a 2 1/2" SSD that can easily be re-used elsewhere later.
