Z370-i and H370-i

Hello all! I'm in the process of ordering and building my first ITX build. My question is as follows.

I know the H370-i doesn't allow for overclocking and the Z370-i does but when I look at the H370-i approved memory it shows that 3400, 3222, 3000 are approved memory? From my understanding is the only approved memory in the H370-i is 2666 MAX, but according to the Asus QVL it says it supports more? https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1151/ROG_STRIX-H370-I_GAMING/ROG_STRIX_H370-I_GAMING_MEMORY...

I'm trying to figure out which one to get since I like the look of the H370 better.

H370 is limited to 2666. Anything higher is considered overclocking, which the chipset natively does not support. The QVL is simply a list of tested memory kits tested at the maximum supported frequency (2666).
