I would say yes.... DFI M2R + DENEB = Kick Ass Platform if you dont want to wait for new high end DDR3 DFI boards...

no kidding, i'm totally convinced that in terms of reliability and bios maturity as well as pwm section design no other board still comes close. Only drawback is the lack of sb750 and ACC, but with the upcoming phenom II that does not really matter...
