The MSI has better build quality this time, I believe.
Also, MSI are just overpriced this time. The GT72 and GT80, while the best machines in their class (that use HQ processors), cost more than they're worth. Other machines like the P37xSM-A are by default better because of the CPU control and 120Hz internal screen support, or the P7xxZM for having single GPU + desktop CPUs.
The HQ chips are worthless for high performance, and I'm kind of sad MSI chose the HQ chip route for those machines that otherwise would be quite beastly and might even have taken top spot this time around.
If you want to know which is better between the two, the GT72 gets my vote. If you want to know what's the best single GPU 17" right now? The Clevo P770ZM takes the win by three and a half miles.
Build quality and resources used to make the laptop might have an effect in the price, also, some slight features in them might have a play in it. EXAMPLE: the CPU/GPU fan and heatsink quality, the bezel or screen quality or size, the type of track pad and clicks, or teh he layout and upgradability. They all have a factor... It might also be just over priced
