My partner just bought a Zulu, so I will soon post a similar comparison.
He bought the Zulu because Litespeed have us a $300 credit for a dead
headset.
It'll be interesting, as I don't care about the cell phone connection, and
95% of your "plusses" involved the phone and/or bluetooth. I file by
Duats, rarely (once a year?) call FSS, and really don't care if anyone is
calling me while I fly.
I have a device that I bought years ago that allows me to use phone or
IPod with any headset. It keeps my wife calm on longer flights, as she
listens to "Zencast" on her IPod. Since she never shuts it off and
usually kills the batteries, it would be nice if the IPod would plug in
without the extra device.
Having the bluetooth headset connection is a definite plus. For those that
frequently fly IFR out of airfields with no clearance delivery frequency or
tower, a cell phone adapter of some sort is quite handy. Wired adapters
cost north of $100 and add more wires to string around. I'm not big on the
Bose or the Zulu, but I do rather like the fact that Lightspeed has set the
standard of the bluetooth interface. I've considered buying the Zulu for
that feature alone.
