Default A8V vs. A8V Deluxe

Anyone know the real advantages to the deluxe? Opinion - is it worth the extra $$?

Well the A8V Deluxe has support for 10 drives while the A8V only supports 6 drives, the Delux model has onboard firewire as well .... the price difference shouldnt be that much so you might as well get the DLX model (funny how ASUS names things .... the DLX model should really be the "normal" and the non-deluxe should really be the step-down model)
