Audeo v. Exelia

I've been reading Phonaks info comparing the Exelia and the Audeo Yes IX. I've found the big difference to be that the Audeo is an RIC aid. I'm wanting to see the comparison between the features of the two aids, and the only differences I am able to see are that the Audeo Yes does not have a telecoil while the Exelia does and the Exelia aids do not have Sound Recover (which would probably not be an issue for me since my high frequency hearing is pretty good). Any other differences in features that I am missing? Thanks!
The Audeo YES IX is smaller than the Exelia but other than that you are absolutely right. They're pretty much the same device. The Audeo V corresponds to the Phonak Versata in the same way that the Audeo III does to the Certena. The only other difference is that The Audeo is the only BTE Core platfrom device that uses a 312 battery. So basically if you want good looks, RIC and SoundRecover - then Audeo YES is your best option. If you want on-board user controls and t-coil then Exelia, Versata or Certena would be better.
