Well, I know the pyshical differences, but otherwise? pros and cons of each? Is there really a difference other than an external body?

I have both I like the 1010 over the 1010lt.. the 1010lt has all RCA ins/outs but the first two inputs are XLR and they are preamps.. But on the 1010 its all 1/4'' ins/out.

The Delta 1010 has 1/4" balanced ins and outs and the levels can be set to either consumer or professional signal level, +4/-10, individually switchable... plus the converters are in the box instead of on the PCI card... I suspect the converters are also a cut above.

1010LT and 1010 are different cards and use different converters (some said 1010s are better, I dunno). The 1010LT only has 2 balanced ins, and it's not very practical without a separate preamp as the line/mic level is set with jumpers and is not variable.
The two principle differences between the units are the quality of the converters, and the fact that the 1010LT has unbalanced ins and outs. The unbalanced issue may or may not be important, depending on the amount of EMI in your space, and the length of the cable runs you might need. As far as the converter quality, I expect the difference is not nearly as big as the difference between recording through a good pre or a cheap pre, same with mics.
BTW, I'm happy with my 1010LT.
