Thanks for the compliment; I was aiming for it to be easy to read for newcomers in this particular field, while making it informative to all the experts we have on the forums.

One of the objectives of the radar mapping will be to better resolve the differences in the gravitational anomalies found in prior surveys. At an altitude of only 150km, the resolution will be much greater than existing maps.
Since the MRO will also be counting molecules, it should be easier to discriminate between drag and gravitational anomalies.

Er, didn't I put that in the article? I thought I put that in there; I'll add it immediately. Thanks

I am of the opinion this will reveal a surprisingly thin upper atmosphere, and even more surprisingly, greater anomalies than mapped at 300 km.

What makes you say that?
There are some other things I forgot to add (mainly the orbit) so I'm going back and adding some stuff. Also, sorry to everyone who has a slow internet, these pics must have taken forever to load...
