Cool. Looking forward to the re-bench!
Well, the compare between P67/Z68 and Z77 would be to see what the new boards bring to the table in terms of performance. Since they're all S1155 based and both support the latest gen. intel cpus.
Those differences won't be really be much of anything, since CPU/IMC/iGPU are all on the chip itself. Just drive controller differnces are really there, and I already include that in my reviews anyway.

the other difference, of course, is that Z77 has some extra memory dividers, but again, that's a CPU thing, not really board-related per-se, evne though that ability is tied into the PCH. There's really not much different between Z68 and Z77, except PCIe 3.0, and add-on features like Rapid Start and Smart Connect.
All that said, I'll have Z68 included in the re-bench, for sure.
