4) has large round buttons for start and select, so you don't have to get out a magnifying glass to find them.
5) WIRELESS!
6) the strum bar is less clicky, and again just feels like quality. this is important because the sensitivity is turned up in GH3 so if you use the x-plorer and flick the strum bar you may have a problem with it detecting a 2nd strum when it flicks back.
7) the whammy bar is slightly lower... this isn't necessarilly good or bad but it is a difference. it's also easier to press... and doesn't have the lag that the x-plorer does when using the whammy.
functionally it is superior in nearly every way, and it just feels solid and higher quality in general. i own both of them, and spent much of the night playing both of them (trading w/ my gf because neither of us wants to use the shitty x-plorer anymore), so i can speak with confidence when i say that the gibson is VASTLY SUPERIOR.
a novice guitar hero player who has a very gentle strumming technique may find that the x-plorer is nearly as good as the gibson, but if you like to shred in expert mode you owe it to yourself to upgrade.

And those all fall under the category of design except maybe the wireless which is obvious.
I don't know why I quoted you in the first place though because you already said everything it had.
