I do believe that the nature of the Mosaic Covenant is also a watershed issue between Covenant Theology and Dispensationalism.

That and the nation Israel I believe are the two biggest differences between the Covenanters and us Dispys.

I would also add a third: dispys apply a consistent normal hermeneutic extending to the land promises as well; whereas covenant theology shifts to a spiritual hermeneutic for these promises.

yrie stated that difference (sine qua non) in his Dispensationalism Today and I found that to be a valid critique as I attended Westminster and listened to my covenant theology professors.
