Default Micro ATX mobo vs ATX mobo

Any pros and cons to them? The case I'm buying supports both and the mobo I'm looking at is a micro atx.

The micros have fewer expansion slots and usually run hotter.

Go with the ATX if at all possible.

go with atx if your case supports it, microatx boards are cheaper because they usually have less features and is smaller therefore cheaper to make
