Unfortunately I don't think that the level of differentiation provided in current browser implementations to EV certificates has users noticing when they get one.

I'd consider myself relatively security-savvy and I honestly couldn't tell you which of the sites I visit uses EV certs, and I'm fairly sure I wouldn't notice the browser bar change from green if a site got MITM'd with a valid DV cert after having an EV cert.

Pinning obviously helps in that case but AFAIK that works just as well for DV certs as EV.
