What are the differences between nRF9160 and nRF9161 apart from DECT NR+?

[ben_int]

We are starting a new design that requires a LTE-M chip. Upon comparing features between nRF9160 and nRF9161, I see 2 differences

• DECT NR+
• 3GPP Release 14 

First question: Is there any other difference between the 2 chips?

Second question: Can you elaborate on the 3GPP advantages of nRF9161? 

Product specification document of nRF9160 lists following about its 3GPP compliancy

• 3GPP LTE release 13 Cat-M1 and Cat-NB1 compliant
  • 3GPP release 13 coverage enhancement
• 3GPP LTE release 14 Cat-NB2 compliant

Product specification document of nRF9161 lists following about its 3GPP compliancy

• 3GPP LTE release 14 Cat-M1 compliant
• 3GPP LTE release 14 Cat-NB1 and Cat-NB2 compliant

I use a nRF9160, hw B1A, mfw 1.3.5 .

Connecting to 26202 LTE-M, Vodafone with REL14FEAT on, I assume that I get AS-RAI, which indicates, that at least experimental, a nRF9160 B1A also supports Rel 14.

Anyway, it would be very important, if there are some official statements from Nordic about the planed support.
