Well, you'll probably notice that it's faster. Let's see, what else... The wifi can be switched on and off with a switch on the front. It has three USB ports, which are separate from the system board (which makes repairs much cheaper and easier). You can install more RAM in it. A lot of the parts are interchangeable with the 29 (for example, keyboards, WWAN sled, etc.), so that can make repairs even easier/cheaper/more convenient. That's just off the top of my head.

I have a CF-30MK2 but have a CF-30K on it's way now. My MK2 works great but what I did do was upgraded the memory to 4GB ($31.00) and installed a Samsung SSD (120GB $70.00) and it's super fast. I got the memory on ebay and the drive from newegg.com . When I get my new to me MK3 I have a new Samsung SSD + 4GB memory here now waiting for it too. For about $100.00 it's the best upgrade you can give it. It will cut your boot up time in half , every thing will run so much faster.
