Well I won't comment on the Battletech side of it as I haven't seen anything. I have to say you underestimate how hard MageKnight can be against a educated learned player though.
Sad part is I'm the munchy one and let me tell you being ubah doesn't help at times.

Mage Knight strikes me as Warhammer light..
Yes, it can get very interesting against someone that knows what they are doing.
Yes, there are some interesting strategies that can and will surprise people.
Yes, there are things you can do which push the bounds of a smart move.
I actually have enjoyed the few times I've played it.. So my take is that the game system adapted to battletech looks at least interesting enough to try. Again, and I can't state this strongly enough, I would do no more than buy a single stack of mechs to experiement with the system as I really have no interest in random minis.
My second problem would be the lack of adaptability in terms of what you can and cannot put on a mech. While most of my scenarios use very standard mechs (Casey's tend to use the real odd ones), I like the ability to set up an actual campaign, and design my own playing pieces.

MK and Warhammer are alike on many levels and I don't think its a good thing.
I tried 40K but what made me dislike it immediately was the fact that in order to play a piece, you have to own it. And it is the same in MK and will be the same in MWDA. At least with BT you could use anything to count as your playing piece. I won'tplay for just that fact.
I was in a game shop not too long ago and I saw a bunch of kids buying some MK stuff and they were dropping huge amounts of money on a box with something unknown in it. I just don't want to do that and I don't understand why any player who intends to be in this beyond a fad would. I don't want to buy 10 boxes and get 10 Wasps while my friend buys 10 boxes and gets 10 MAd Cats.
I just think it's a shitty way to do business and isn't desogned to support players but rather to sperate kids from their money.

Contrary to what some are saying, Wizkids own information indicates that there will be "rare" units.

What's going to be a rare mech? An UNSEEN? That is about as rare as you can get in this game...Or better yet will they try some way to make all the mechs from any of the TRs rare so as not to over kill the weed wackers and lawn mowers they are calling mechs?

I know for certain there is a B'tech CCG...I'm still tring to complete my sets 
And I don't know what units will be rare--I do know that all types of units will have rares (mechs, vehicles, infantry).
Anyone know if the vehicles will include Aerospace fighters or VTOLs?

Good question! I havn't heard anything. I wonder if they'll have them for gun emplacements and bunkers and the sort?

If you are talking about a Card Collecters Game. The answer is yes. I have well over 500 cards. Some decent ones to. But the game is not that good.
If fact I have been thinking of activing the Brainfreeze for one last time and offering the the whole set as a prize.
What do you think?

You remember the Brainfreeze. The little quiz I use to run before my life started to fall apart. The site is still up. And I have some freetime.
So I am tinking of starting it up again for a few quick quizes.
