Do they even sell new X38s anymore? I bought an EX38 about 3 weeks ago, and at that time they did not have new X38s.

No they do not sir. You can probably get them at some screw you over type place for like $350 still I'm sure though. They have stopped making those.

The only difference I saw was the Realtek LAN controller and lack of Silent Cool pipes. Is the PCB better/worse?

And from the perspective of gentlemen who have used this board, should I keep it? As stated above, it seems to have a "legit" X38 chipset not an ES.

Thanks.

EX38-DQ6 uses the same X38 chipset as X38-DQ6. There are only small modification on PCB like memory lights. X38 with the latest bios, suports the same features as EX38 (Energy Saver useless for overclocking ...).
