Which Z170 motherboard should I buy?

Hi,

I am trying to select components for my new rig for photo/video editing and need your well educated advice on which Z170 motherboard should I consider. My only "must have" is at least 2 fully functional M.2 sockets with both SATA and PCIE support.

Currently I am using a system with ASUS m/b and I kind of like it, so I was looking at ASUS Z170-DELUXE, but it has only one M.2 socket and an adapter for another one, which is not ideal solution I guess. I like the onboard WiFi on this model.

The other model I was looking at is ASRock Z170 OC Formula, which seems to be okay, but I have no experience with ASRock at all.

Any other models I should consider?

Your suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks!

Peter
 
Thanks for your input!
I am now deliberating between ASUS Z170-DELUXE and ASRock Z170 OC Formula.
I really like three M.2 sockets and more SATA ports on ASRock m/b, but I also like 5 USB 3.1 ports on ASUS m/b.
What I really care about are the storage options and not O/C features.

Is there anybody able to compare the service of both manufacturers?
