Can anybody point me to what choice of interpretation changes? From what I understand it is an interpretation, so there is no difference in what Copenhagen/MWI predict and falsification isn't possible. But for some reason MWI seems to be highly esteemed in LW - why?

Because Copenhagen introduces additional rules that act in ways counter to everything we know about physics and gives no experimental evidence to justify them.
