You should check out the Microsoft site -- they have several pages comparing the two products there, particularlly:

Many of the differences relate to database features, source control and other features that are more important for multi-programmer situations.

Also, I thought I heard that Standard cannot statically link to the the MFC DLLs -- if anyone knows either way, please tell me.

You're right, the std edition can only link dynamically to the MFC, and it has no optimizer and no profiler. Standard Edition is good for learning, I'm using it at home for trying things. For developing applications for sale I recommend Pro or Enterprise.
