Hi loboracer
Well the app and concept is the same whether you get the "standard" or the SE version. A standalone mastering suite which also allows you to use the modules as individual plugins in your DAW.
Which is better is a bit of a subjective question.
Which has more? SE has statistically more modules. There is a crossover in both versions as they both contain the Classic series (compressor, multiband limiter, clipper and EQ) but after that the remaining processors differ. One of the big differences is that the full metering suite is not in the SE version.
Personally, if I had no other 3rd party plugins for my DAW and I wanted to add a good range of processors I would probably go the SE route as that has some nice analogue models to cover the "go-to" stuff (dynamics, EQ, reverb and delay) while still being able to have a great standalone mastering suite, but it does depend on what you're looking for.
Hope that helps.
