I know that I'll lose the factory bluetooth and SOS feature (I don't even know if I can use the SOS feature since i'm not the original owner and it has > 50k miles), but I'm not aware of anything else that I'll lose. If you know of other things I'll lose I'd love to hear it so I can make an informed decision.
Aside from that I think the L7 system sounds horrible.

From the research that I've done, in addition to the above you will lose all chimes and gongs in the car - i.e. the seatbelt chime, the "low outside temp" warning, "door open", "engine fault", etc. This may not be a big deal for you, though.
If you really mean to go all out on the audio install, then you can certainly get a much better sounding system. But I'm not sure I understand your channel breakup logic (i.e., why 2x 4ch and 1x 2ch). What are your plans for the stock speakers and subs?
