So instead of launching a 890FX/SB850/LucidLT22102 board they choose the smaller 870 chipset. I guess most potential customers for a lucid chipset are hardware enthusiast, who demand the fastest, biggest, newest components – the 870 seems not to fit into this category anymore

I believe this is a very smart move from MSI. The difference between 890FX and 870 (or 770) is only the PCI-E lanes. 890FX offers 2* full PCI-E x16 (or 4* 8). With the Lucid Chip MSI also offers 2* PCI-E x16. From NB side there is absolutely no performance difference between the NB, and MSI uses SB850 so all features are available.
