3) Predictive alarms. The guardian can predict in advance when you are going to hit a low. So it will allow you to correct before you hit that level.
4) Alert if you don't complete the prime. I can't tell you the number of times that I would be in the 300-400s in the morning without this SAFETY feature that BOTH Animas and Cozmo have.
5) Food database. Although I don't have this option, it would be nice to have to help me from guestimating.
6) Longer battery life. Maybe I'm just a partial environmentalist, but I like that I can save batteries and don't have to carry them around with me all the time to change.
I know there's more, but I can't recall all of them right now. However, The first three automatically make me lean away from the x22 series and be happy with just the CGMS standalone. Also, for me, and maybe not others, #4 by itself just leaves me away. I know with my Animas I can't stop at any part of the prime. It's all or alarm.
