1. It's also super stable. I've never had a more stable board.
2.Should be more support since it's their highest end board. You'll probably also have more support from users on this forum since it's an enthusiast board.
3. For SLI/Crossfire setups, I found allowing space between the two cards really helped w/ temps. That's not so easy w/ that board as you'd need a really long SLI bridge (might come with one long enough though).
4. MIVE has two molex power connectors vs one on the workstation. If you wanted 3 or 4way SLI/Crossfire, that will help.

Did I miss anything?
Adding to all this, you can also "quad" in M4E with 590Gtx ( ok with some problems ) and 6990 out. You can just have 2 ( 6950/6970) + 6990 or 2x6990. Same for nvida 2x 590Gtx. If you really need that much graphic power... I've a 6950@70 crossfireX and it is more then enought and for the price of one 580Gtx was the bang for the buck
