Many-worlds is strictly simpler than the Copenhagen interpretation, 
linear, unitary, time-reversible, deterministic, 
probability-mass-conserving, and doesn't explain Bell's Inequality by 
saying that some events have no cause - it's just a question of which 
cloud of probability mass you, the observer, happen to be part of.
