I have both boards too (ASUS a8n-sli and DFI lanparty ut sli-d) and the dfi is much much better, much much faster and much much more stable (in the right hands of course, the dfi is designed to be used by more experienced people in my opinion), I have winchester 3000+ and san diego 3700+ as...
I did exactly the same thing, only mine was the non deluxe version, upgraded bios had loads of problem even when going back to other bioses, went and bought myself a dfi lanparty UT sli-d instead
