I think what it shows is that 10 years on there is a good deal more choice available out of MAN to fly either direct to many destinations or via a multitude of connecting hubs both in Europe and beyond. Going via Heathrow still offers a high number of departure times from MAN - 8 or 9 a day, and a good range of onward flights but it is just one of many options and there's no 'proper' premium product on the first sector.
