    On the surface, the Mind-Only schools sound very much like "Consciousness is All" of Advaita - up to a point, since the article states that its very essence is of dependent nature, rather than being some unchanging absolute reality.

    Yes, Yogacara is different from Advaita. Whereas Advaita postulates an unchanging and universal consciousness, yogacara consciousness is momentary and personal. It is however of a somewhat subjective idealist view, also argued to be subtly realist (although not of the vedantic type).
