I like personally the option to place two SSDs behind the mobo plate. That allows you to have three HDDs in the lower HD cage while removing the upper cage for better airflow. I used to have R3 before this, and the improvements are clear, although objectively speaking this isn't any exceptional case all in all, but it has a few nice features, like the review said, and the price is very decent.
