Quick and dirty:
Positives
HDMI V1.4 for 3D (4 inputs)
Audyssey MultiEQ (mid-level Audyssey software)
HDMI video upconversion (to 480p)
Zone 2
Dolby PliiZ (height)
Negatives
No video processing
No USB Ipod playback like other cheap Pioneers
New 1611 is coming out soon which has a USB port for ipod playback, but is only a 5.1 receiver and drops Zone 2. In many ways, the 1611 is a more well-rounded receiver than the 1612, currently selling around MSRP of $349.
