The x99s sli plus is a so call "basic" slightly stripped down version from the gaming version.

Thanks for the answer.

Considering DDR4 prices now, is it worth it to hoot these x99s boards?

Very difficult to comment lor.
It's always these few things... 'need', 'want' and budget.

Really depends on the individual.
Since Intel positioned X99 as their flagship series.
The pricing is definitely there and with the lowest @ a 6core/12thread cpu.
Just build an x99 rig for a customer too.
Some will comment its a waste of money.
So, its really down to the individual.

This is not a cheapo casing ok.
Mid-range one @ $179. You can go SLS and take a look.
