I believe the ASUS P55 Deluxe costed like 180~185 at launch tho and seems something like average 20 / $30 extra now for corresponding model to the P55 series (at the launch) is seen for other motherboards too, especially Gigabyte UD4 and UD5 are expensier this time but hopefully it'll settle for launch as this is too early to make any conclusions, I picked up this P55-UD5 at 173 at P55 launch and it's got even 10 sata slots instead of 6x and only 1 NIC instead of 2 on P67 so especially Gigabyte seems to be greedy this time, 20 expensier and less features.The ASRock seems currently the most reasonably priced board.
At similar pricing for both Gigabyte P67-UD5 and ASUS P67 Deluxe (~200) which are always some tough competitors against each other, the ASUS clearly looks more interesting this time around, at P55 launch the ASUS board was like 10 expensier and offering less features, this time around ASUS seems to draw the longer straw, offering a bit more for same price.
