Extra features on vanilla better motherboard layout which support 3-way SLI and ATI Quad GPU CF, JMB322 (Drive Xpert technology) 2 x SATA 3Gb/s with Supports EZ Backup and Super Speed functions
Usually vanilla is 50$ cheaper than Deluxe version and I think Asus really nailed it with P6T motherboard, you'll get all the features needed by most gamers, and you won't be missing any extra features Deluxe have. For OC, 8+2 Phase didn't disappoint at all, I managed to get my i7 920 to 190*20 3.8 GHz running 2 hours prime95+3dmark06 without any problem but CPU heat was on edge 86C-88C. At 200*20 4 GHz it booted to windows but wasn't stable under load. For me I'm happy to set @ 160*20 3.2 GHz with Intel boost enabled @ auto voltage by BIOS.
