Then you should discover the same as Toms did.

Prior motherboard testing found so little performance difference that well, it rarely matters today.

Both have the same chipset and you've selected these because they hold the memory and cards so why not flip a coin or check out newegg user reviews?

Tomshardware, Anandtech, etc., are great but user ratings from places Newegg and elsewhere based on DOAs, component failures, RMAs, etc., should all be considered when purchasing system components.
