VRM's only need to be strong and in this day and age, digital, and not abundant, a full dual digital VRM setup @ 12 Phases found on the Maximus/Extreme V's can easily beat out that stupid Gigabyte 32 Phase Power garbage, its like saying Megan Racing garbage coils are better because it has 96 clicks, as opposed to a 10 click KW V3 Coils.
MSI boards are one of the best bang for your buck, and are praised quite frequently, in fact, they offer a much more comprehensive set of features at an unbeatable price (Thunderbolt @ 229? holy shit son). A bad batch of boards few years ago can't be the breaking point for your new purchase, that's like saying Antec power supplies are garbage because they had a high failure rate on
one model line up half a decade ago, when they are one of the very best delta OEM PSU's you can buy.
No motherboard manufacturer will outright lie about their spec's, but will stretch the truth on it, i.e Gigabyte offers a full USB 3.0 connection point on most of their Z77 boards, when in reality, there are only one or two hub point on the board, meaning the data rate is split if it is all utilized. A hub can only power two USB 3 ports to its full data limit.
Although I've never seen a single board from a reputable brand that will downright lie about such an important feature, maybe AsRock, or Biostar.
Just my 2 cents.

I was there working, was the stupidest shit I've seen at a warehouse sale (like people camping at 4:30PM the day BEFORE).
