I'm not an average user and certainly don't have average requirements.
The most expensive LGA1155 board at the egg is $340. On AM3+, it's $275
(including a rebate), then a steep drop to $220, then $185. If you
include
LGA2011 single-socket boards, which are Intel's Performance/Enthusiast
platform and in theory does compete against AM3+, the high end
offerings top
out at $900 (after rebate), then a drop to the $400 range.
Sure, you can find boards at a similar price point in both camps, but
the
high end offerings are nowhere near the same in depth and breadth,
and to my
theory--quality.

I haven't had any problems with the M2N-Es (yet), and $120 pretty
average
for both Intel and AMD. Yes, you can get $200 Intel boards, but the
vast
majority of motherboards for both are in the $60-$120 range at least in
wholesale.
