    Very interested in these motherboards as im really looking for my next build to be M-ITX. Any reasons to choose the B270 chipset over the B250 apart from the added ethernet port?

    The size of the board itself actually mitigates most of the differences between the two chipsets (which mostly add up to fewer HSIO and PCIe lanes). However, one big difference is the B250 does not support RAID, so if you want/need that you need to go with the H270/Z270.
