I don't think you can watch satellite TV like on the 14MZ,
and I'm pretty sure the back rub, and the auto plane washer features
were also reserved only for the 14MZ.

Not that I can afford one, but I'm hoping that it is what it seems to be - a lot of really useful features with very user-friendly programmability, without some of the over-the-top gimmicks of the 14MZ. Not that the 14MZ isn't great, just too many expensive gimmicks for a lot of fliers. I would love to have the 12-channel.
