Although yes, iTunes Match can be a bit of pain if you have content coming from more than the one iTune account. For instance, I have a account in 2 different countries and as iTunes doesn't allow a unified account I can only use iTunes Match for part of my purchasing. Granted most content comes DRM-free it's still a pain.

What do you mean? Are you refering to the fact the track is "ineligible?" See this Apple KB article for help in understand why certain tracks may be "ineligible." In particular, pay attention to this note:
A song will not be uploaded to iCloud if the song contains DRM, was purchased using a different Apple ID, and could not be matched.
