I find the high quality artificial stuff is much better at wicking and faster drying, however I like the fact merino is warm even when you're only wearing a thin layer of it.
At the moment I am wearing a HH Lifa Base Layer, with a North Face Merino wool layer over the top, this and a shell jacket for the really cold days is more than warm enough for me in the winter, and I stay dry also with this combo, even when getting pretty sweaty.
