Looking at the options, I'm still weighing the two motherboards. I've got external WiFi and Bluetooth set up, but Intel LAN and a better audio codec make me reconsider the Tomahawk board. It's clear it supports the CPU right out of the box, but formatting a USB flash drive and updating BIOS is manageable. The prices are pretty similar in my area. What do you think?

The Carbon Pro AC includes USB C, a 4-pin CPU power connector, and an extra M.2 port. Since it tends to be the pricier model, choosing Carbon would be better if they match the cost.
