Well the most important difference is the feature that you can't do without in your business. That may be dataguard, it may be query rewrite or any number of things. The one thing it won't be is supporting more than 2 processors since std edition is licensable on machines that support up to 4 processors - if you have 4 procs installed it will use them all. there is a document called 'a family of database products' available on technet that will tell you what the feature differences are.
