Confused about Asus boards and Thunderbolt support

I'm confused about which Asus boards support thunderbolt - the Deluxe does *not* but but Expert and Deluxe Dual do, is that correct? I watched the Newegg video on the Asus Z87 boards and I believe the fellow said the Expert board connection can be configured as display port or thunderbolt but the Deluxe allows only display port connection.

Seems strange that a higher-end board (Deluxe) would remove a connection found on a lower-end board (Expert).

I'm putting together a new system and I don't know much about Thunderbolt so I'm not sure what connections do what (display port vs. mini display port vs. thunderbolt).

Thanks,
