You'd have to pay me a considerable amount of money to make me use an MSI motherboard again.

I remember when the first generation of i7's came out and i bought an MSI Eclipse motherboard to go with it. I ended up going through 3 of them (all faulty) before i decided to call it a day and exchange it for an EVGA Classified mobo. Since then i've only used Asus and EVGA motherboards and i've been far happier with the quality of those.

Carbon & led "tuning" is the way to be sold?
More and more motherboards like cars of Need for Speed.

I feel the same about MSI motherboards. I had a board with ethernet and USB3 failing gradually. So much for "military class components".
I replaced the board with an Asrock Extreme 4 which has not given me a single second of grief. I was wary of Asrock at first, but an Asus board with similar specs was way over budget, so I went Asrock and I haven't looked back :)

Depends which military the components came from :D

I'm eyeing an Asrock Extreme 4 (or gaming K4) Z170 for an upgrade myself.

Agree. The facts support the feeling, too. MSI consistently maintains a 5-8% market share because most users that give them a try never do again.
