Actually there are certain kernel configuration options that greatly
favour desktops (make them highly responsive) but would make a server
very, very unstable.

I sort of discovered it the hard way - after a few kernel panics.  My
thought is that such options are pre-configured in the server version as
well.  That doesn't mean, though, that I would prefer to have bought it -
it would really depend on the scale of work I have to do, and yes, the
deadlines :-)
