G12 over SX230? Or not?

Here's the thing.  I currently have a SX230HS, and it does well for me.  But I keep thinking that I would prefer the slightly larger G12.  Other than the flip LCD, and possibly a slightly larger sensor, what advantages might the G12 have?  Many reviews put the smaller SX230 slightly above the G12, but not enough to make a real big deal.  The SX230 has that 14X zoom, which is nice, and is more pocketable than the G12.  So, aside from these things, are there really any significant advantges to either one of these cameras over the other?  Or are these things enough to swing a decision?

There are , no doubt, other cameras that would make a greater difference.  But I ask you keep comments to these 2 specific cameras.  Thanks
