I had a much longer comment written, but the only point worth making is this: The research MS is no silver bullet, and I saw a lot of people spend a lot of time working on a rather thin gruel. Maybe the coursework-only MS is diluting the value of an MS, but there are a lot of research MS holders I wouldn't particularly want to hire, either.
