Default 2010 (B8) S4 without NAV - how is the B&O different?

Can anyone tell me what other differences the B&O audio will have in a B8 S4 without NAV+ besides these two:

You obviously lose the 10GB music storage space in the NAV hard disk.

You also lose the "sound focus" feature of the B&O system.

Does anyone know of other "losses" (or differences)?

I've read on a forum that you lose the digital interface and are left with only an analog interface, but that doesn't sound right to me. Don't you still have an iPod dock connector in the glove box that transmits its stored music digitally to the audio system?

My plan (the car is on order) is to connect an iPod touch (64GB) to that interface and control it with the MMI. Will that work?

TIA

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the connection between the audio components in the non-nav B&O system is all analog, while you get digital interfaces with the "full" B&O system.

Edit: Whoops, didn't realize this thread was so old, it just popped up on a Google search of mine and I decided to respond.
