beside the price what are the differences btw the standard and alpha?

are the cut times the same or does it take longer with the standard?

The difference between the 'new' standard and the alpha is only the control box and the motors.
Everything else is the same.
This (http://www.talkshopbot.com/forum/show.cgi?tpc=312&post=34252#POST34252) thread may be of interest.
It is not conclusive, but does give you some idea of what to expect.

Vaccum hold down, or clamps/screws, router or spindle, are similar decisions for either machine.
