No the downloaded version is no different from a box version, except you get a box.

... and well you get the software that much faster!

Id just get the downloaded version personally - save the environment

often the, only, difference is a "paper" manual (box) vs. a "pdf" manual (direct dl).... & some stickers
may be sounds stupid, but sometimes, when you've got client coming to your home-studio/studio, seeing all the boxes of the programs make them feel "yeah, here we know what we're talking about..."

I don't think stacks of empty boxes would say "Professional" rather "Pack Rat".

I would say to give that "yeah, this guy knows what he is doing.." would be the state of your workspace/studio. How organized you are. Some if what you have in your studio; that it is not all beat up junk yard looking gear.

Then of course your own personal skill at working with the client and the work you produce.

I'm all with you here...
but it's what I've heard, and seen once too... I don't have any studio and no client so I can't tell if that happen often or if it was only just 2 isolated cases, but happens... but that's another topic...

but anyway, going back to topic, I don't know any program with difference between the 2 versions...

continuing..since i've decided to go the download route, how can i do it so i can have it installed on my pc that i don't connect to the internet. the scenario is i have 1 pc for my music, and this old laptop for internet stuff. i want to limit the amount of internet connection to almost none on the music pc. let alone use my credit card with out any virus protection and the like. is there a way to buy the download on this laptop and transfer the purchase to the pc? make sense?

edit: i think maybe i can buy it on this laptop and then transfer the license so i can just do the final download on the pc? that way i dont have to use a cc on the pc without any protection.

you should be able to download it on one computer, and then copy the file to the music computer and install it on that one without the interwebs.
