Well, firstly, almost any brand has an advantage over MSI 
To answer your question, Intel boards traditionally do not perform as well as brands like ASUS in overclocking (Although they're working hard to change that), and typically comes with less features. But they're very stable boards that will last you forever. So if you're building a server or a workstation, an Intel board is probably a good choice. If you want something hardcore, I'd still take an ASUS.

Not to thread hijack, but what do you think of Intel's latest mobo?

It's amazing. I would NEVER have thought of own an Intel mobo by a long shot before this, but I'm thoroughly impressed.

You guys have to try out the DZ77GA-70K. It's a very impressive product.
