It appears to differ only in anti-reflection coating and faster AF speed, 1.8x faster per Canon. It also has manual focus, distance encoding for E-TTL II flash, and a relatively circular diaphragm. It should be available in March for about $2,099.

The Super Multi Coated (SMC) series have the very best anti-reflection coatings and so will be less likley to lower image contrast.
I suspect that this is due to the lack of an anti-reflection coating on the rear lens element. I think this results in light reflecting off the sensor, onto the rear lens element and back to the sensor.
