Price
Just great and at a good price
The reason for it being so good is just the price; compared to the b550-e which costs £200.

Competitiveness
I've been in the market recently for a ryzen chipset motherboard and was recommended to look out for this one and can immediately see why.
No other x470 motherboard at such a price.
It's also compatible with ryzen 5000 so offers a great upgrade path, however, it doesn't support pcie 4.
I put a new ryzen 5 3600 and 2x8gb sticks of ddr4 ram in, plugged in my old psu, hdd and rx580 and it booted first time.
