Its obvious there are big differences to look out for when choosing a motherboard, but what are the actual practical advantages of having an amazing motherboard?

Excuse my ignorance!

Better chipsets which make the PC faster and more expansion slots are usually the case, and usually they come with better support.

Better OC and the peace of mind knowing that it won't just die on your randomly (usually).

Longevity, higher end components, more options, better compatibility, better design, higher end chip sets, accurate monitoring, etc.
