The coils ride and handle noticeably better, and I think part of that is the rear swaybar. The payload difference between the two is substantial on the diesel trucks due to the GVWR class limitation, but the axle rating is only 500 lbs lower on the 2500. In terms of real world performance there's not much of a difference. The biggest difference may be the TPMS on the 2500, which can be a hindrance in setting the PSI where you want it without the idiot light going off (or getting the trigger points reset by a dealer).
The performance can be quite a bit different when you look at the 2500 can't be gotten with the Asin and 900 lbft of torque. The 3500 can.
A simple tune or fuel timing module will fix that. My Edge JWA tow level 2 puts mine over 900 lbs ft at the crank if you account for drive train loss.
But the big difference is one will have a warranty and tranny that was designed for that power level, and the other has jepardized any engine/emission equipment/transmission warranty. That 68 tranny most certainly will not last very long.
