Maybe I wil give you some other perspective - living in Poland, Europe:
I've bought Maximus II Formula back in 2008 when it was quite new and the cost was ~750 PLN now. Now the Maximus IV costs roughly 1200 PLN. That is absurd price difference and the 750 PLN is sufficient only for P8P67 Pro. Of course the exchange rate affects it with $ worth 40% more , but still that is 15% more for the board that has lesser influence on overclocking result. but for me while MIIF was ok for that time now Asus went crazy prices - for local perspective. So thank you Asus - with prices higher due to limited amount and high demand I've bought Extreme 4 for 570 PLN. And I'm pretty happy with it. Some additional temp sensors, PCIEx slots and power phases are not worth double price
