I for one wouldn't mind having a longer warranty, I mean OP hasn't totally made clear what his intentions are with his soon to be new board, and I'm assuming he won't for the next couple years anyway so it can't hurt to have a longer warranty. Who knows, he may upgrade and keep the old board for an emergency part (you never know when your new upgrade may crap out on you), use it for a new HTPC build, make a PC for his mom or pops or friend who desperately wants to play PC games but doesn't have a PC atm....lot's of possibilities.
Well, GL pow3rtr1p on the hunt. I'm sure you probably have a good idea of where each board stands amongst each other after this little dicussion...and with your outside research from other forums, I bet you know what you want. If you must stay true to your budget, do it. However, I do agree with others who have argued that you may sometimes have to pay a premium for premium parts. If you do have until the end of this month, perhaps save a little extra a day haha?
Sidenote,
Munnis, just because a person bought a new sports car does not mean he is barred or lacks the ability to still appreciate his old beater car that served as his work horse from yesteryear(s).
