Z77x-UD3h vs Z77xUD5h Questions - worth the extra $$?

I know that the audio doesn't work for UD3H thanks to gigabyte going with a different audio chip. Are there any other things about the UD3H that aren't working?

I can get a UD3H for $93 and a UD5H for $125. Is it worth spending the extra $32 for the UD5H?

I won't be SLI-ing. I have three HDs. One is SSD the rest are normal HDs.

Thanks in advance.

Where do you find prices that cheap?

UD3H from Microcenter with a CPU and the UD5H from amazon with some points that I have with them.

For 30 bucks more get the ud5h. Consider it insurance as it will work 100%. u3h has the VIA audio chip so unless you are running some discrete sound cards, get the ud5h.

Ok, thanks for the advice. I was just wondering if there were any other problems with the ud3h besides audio but I guess it would be better to spend the extra $30 and get the ud5h.
