Thanks for the help!
The flight I had yyz-fco had the new magnifica class seats with little personal monitors that they brought around. The seats were nice. The IFE was nice but more clumsy than the built in variety. (A FA tripped over the cord on mine and broke the cord between the unit and the power source--giving me a 'look' as if I had done something wrong .)

It is my understanding that the yyz-mxp is the old style seats and no personal IFE... the old seats are not all that bad. I found them comfortable and the space more than adequate. I certainly prefer the newer seats...but no problem with the old. The lack of personal IFE is certainly a bigger issue for me personally....sometimes it was very difficulty to see the subtitles in the movie in Italian depending on the position of the seat in front of you. Certainly given the price either seat/ife combo is just fine...comfy and roomy. However, I would frankly never consider buying a J/D class on AZ at regular price given what else out there is available. (I also have a preference for my luggage arriving with me too and it appears to me that is an issue with AZ )
