2417 Owners: Sport vs Standard?

Hi folks. I've narrowed my choice of TM to the 2417 KB and looked at a Sport yesterday. Would like to hear from 2417 owners why you chose sport or standard. I can see from the specs that there's an extra 6 inches in width. Where does that show up inside? I can see where six inches might be helpful in the kitchen, but elsewhere useful? Also, are there other advantages to the Standard I'm missing? Is it worth the extra 150 lbs and the extra $$?

Thanks for your input.
