#1 MR has NO upgrade privilege (sure they put you on club floor when available - but woo - I've gotten many suites with HH and none with MR and they still let me use the lounge when I take the points as my choice with HH).
#2 the HGI equivalent (CY) has no free breakfast.

So you really can't look against the fact that you lose those when comparing.
