SpartanVXL: From what i recall the Asus b450 has worse vrm then the tomahawk. If you are OC’ing a 2700x to max then get the MSI although im not sure if they added voltage offset to their bios yet.
Otherwise get it based on available feature such as back i/o, usb ports, integrated sound, wifi, pci-e slots and bandwith, sata and m.2 slots for storage etc.
Motherboards are always tricky as there is rarely a perfect board with all the features you want for a reasonable price. Do however look online such as Amazon because the avalability in NZ is sorely lacking. We get the most common boards but not always the good ones stocked here.
I will say that a board with good power delivery and cooling (heatsinks) will generally last quite longer than their budget counterparts.
