The only difference between an ATX and mATX motherboard is the length at the bottom. This means the ATX can fit a couple more PCI slots, and maybe some extra components like more SATA slots, more USB outputs, etc. Maybe a whacky cooler or something.

Other than that, there is no difference.

If an mATX has all the features you need, then get it. It doesn't automatically make your system a "budget system" or have insufficient "cooling features".
