Stix B450 and Strix X470 both appear similar, but upon closer inspection of the center sockets, they differ. The X470 features a more appealing RGB logo, though the additional cost of 50 might be justified. Overclocking capabilities are comparable between the two models.

If I were you, I’d choose the X470—why not enjoy the experience?

The key distinction lies in the X470's 32MB ROM, which could be beneficial when planning a future CPU upgrade to Zen 3 or 4. Beyond that, it's almost indistinguishable from other models except for its design.

Actually, I wouldn't recommend it if you're focused on overclocking and using an ITX case with a high-power chip.
