Micheal, the R is well at home on the road or the track. Major differences are depending on year, is in the engine dept, ti conrods etc, this allows the engine to rev higher and quicker than std 748 lump. Comes with a slipper clutch, race can's and road can's & chip. Rear paddock stand, carbon fibre panels, single seat unit,
ohlins suspenders all round.
If I could afford either, it would be the R
Ask Guido for his opinion, he's had two years and 20,000 odd miles under his belt.

Doesn't have carbon panels.....
R basically has more engine work, cams, rods, valves, ecu, single injectors (???) plus depending on year Ohlins front and rear, should come with colour coded mirrors and Ohlins damper, but have seen some without, guess the factory "forgot"!!!
Downside is that each service (ducati service) is more expensive, as the belts need changing every 6K, not 12K as others models need, saying that I change mine at 6K anyway, to be safe.
Other downsides is fuelling, great when moving, but can easily stall when slowing down/coasting to stop, this can be someone adjusted via chip etc to prevent it happening as often, but have yet to see one which doesn't do it.
Also have lighter Marchesini's (alloy) and I think slightly different offset of discs etc, Nelly will no doubt correct me on this.
