I would have had another alpha release recently, but the OSX machine I use "updated" itself before I could finish building. -Jonathan

i don't think that Pd-l2ork offers more than that.
While I reckon deciding whether pd-l2ork offers more than pd is very much a personal value-driven decision, here are a few things I can think of that are unique to pd-l2ork:
*monolithic distro--one download has it all *infinite undo and a number of usability improvements (advanced auto-patching, tidying up, to-front/back options, etc.) *system-wide presets that can also distinguish between two instances of the same abstraction *K12 mode that allows for newcomers to get started quickly, including easy interfacing with wiimotes, arduinos, and raspberry pis; this mode is interchangeable with the non-K12 modes and has been used in over dozen maker camps and workshops by middle school children all the way up to professionals *accelerated SVG-based GUI (and a new alpha version that uses Chrome's node webkit thanks to the hard work by Jonathan) *unique externals like disis_gpio and disis_spi that offer easy integration with RPi, including software PWM on all GPIOs and many other features *out of box flext support with disis_munger~ *the most complete wiimote support for Linux including passthrough mode and newest wiimote plus devices using a libCwiid fork we maintain as part of pd-l2ork; in L2Ork we connect up to 18 wiimotes in the same space on a regular basis without any problems whatsoever *out of box RTcmix~ external *improved ggee/image external with support for transparencies, pngs, etc. *iemgui objects that have handles for easy resizing and automatic font adjustment *searchable documentation browser *object tooltips *cord inspector *over 1,000 patches and bug-fixes
Best,
