What is not bad price? 499$...
I would not pay over 380-390e for that board.
And price should be 400-430$...
What tomorrow if Black Edition show up they plan to ask 559-569$ for motherboard.
R5E have 8 phases I think, I say that because someone talk how EVGA came with only 10 phases.
7+1 will not stop them to hold records... But looks like and on X99 Classy CPU OC very well.
I don't know ASUS make incredible boards but I'm somehow more for durability as server boards than OC record.
I would be happiest with some board famous as SR-2. She will stay 10 years famous... If someone ask me about Maximus 3 Extreme can kill me I can't remember how she look, but SR-2 and X58 Classy everybody know... That longevity and durability are for me more important than 10 records on LN2.

I said that it was not a bad price "all things considered" I have seen this vboard on eBay for over $1000. I have also seen them listed at other sites (albeit out of stock) at $520. I consider $499 and free shipping not a bad price for this board as itv stands. I am not commenting on whether it is worth $499 or not. I won't really know that until I actually use it for a while.
