has anyone else noticed the UD3L and UD3LR for sale? anyone know the differences between them and the older UD3 boards?

im building a rig for a friend of mine and was curious if anyone had any experiences with those boards. he wants a quad core plus a lot of ram and wants to get an entire rig running for under 900 bucks, and shaving 30 off of the board price will allow a TRUE instead of a AC7/Xig.
i suppose we could run a q9400 instead of a 9550 for the price savings if the UD3LR is totally out of the question.
