Default Looking for a new X58 mobo

I was thinking about getting a new X58 mobo without spending too much money. So far I've got my eyes set on the Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R which is about $200. From some reviews I've read it sounds pretty solid.
It will be about a month out till I'm able to pull the trigger and thought I'd get some feedback on what people thought about the board or a different mobo. I'll be using my 920 D0 useless I find a great deal on the 980x. Looking for the most for my buck.

Since Sandy Brigdes production is going to ramped up I was thinking of hold back from buy a high-end mobo.

Any thoughts, comments or feedback are welcome

Thanks everyone for speedy feedback I'm just comming off the EVGA x58 758 (non classy) I had some problems with it. Couldn't get a higher blck than 215, even with DICE it was like putting my head in a vice. It's dead anyway and can't be RMA'ed.
So I'm little stand-offish from EVGA atm but I'll keep an eye out on ebay
