Is there any difference between the Sony A65 and A55 other than megapixels?

Question

When I look at dpreview's side-by-side camera comparison page, there is no difference between two cameras except pixel count (24MP vs. 16MP).

If that's the only difference then $200 isn't worth it for just more pixels, because I don't need them. Is there anything else?

Answer

I can a spot a few differences; 24 fps video vs 30, more WB settings, different battery (longer lasting), heavier and bigger but thinner body (probably easier to hold), extra connectivity options, ±5 EV (at 1/3 EV steps) as oppose to ±2 EV (at 1/3 EV steps), AE bracketing option.

The Sony SLT A77 seems like a better alternative though.
