So far I haven't noticed much difference.
No eBooks from Standard eBooks is a valid test. They make crappy eBooks.The code is overly complicated and ADE 2.0.1 does not like them. There is no reading to use some really complicated CSS. That's the reason the "compatible" ePub is not compatible. That's also why I won't ever read anything they release. I'm not wanting to basically rewrite the CSS.

Using their eBooks as a test is no test at all. And they lie. You cannot call an ePub compatible when it's not. They don't need a compatible ePub and an advanced ePub. They just need one single ePub with simple code that actually works.
