M7 support RAM up to 4000mhz, and has 3 M.2 ports.

The M7 also has more LED lights.

M7 has 3 m.2 connectors, m5 2, pro 1.
m series use killerlan, pro realtek lan.
the pro has 2x pcie 16x , the m7/5 3x, audio is the same, 7.1. etc.

but to make it short, if dont wanna go with sli, or extrem oc, grab the decent z270 Pro

As a rule of a thumb, buy cheaper models. Don't think about future upgrades, in most cases they will never happen.
