There are more graphs per process and the interface is customizable. It's easier to supervise the activity by using the tabs on the main window to see all ongoing Disk, Network, or Service jobs. Process properties show tokens, much better overall/accumulated stats view for a process, process modules and heap regions, and so on. You can set it to permanently remember process priorities and automatically apply them. The "System Information" graph is much more informative in that you can mouse over the spikes and see which process is causing them. The better visibility of I/O traffic makes it simple to associate, for example, the internal handle for the mouse object, since my mouse requires intercepting/sampling to use all 7 buttons. And finally, the filter field is in the top-right of the main window, which makes it a lot easier to get to.

I'm sure some of this is accessible somewhere in the internals of ProcExp but I've greatly enjoyed Process Hacker. My biggest gripe is that I press X and it actually closes itself so the graphs hadn't been capturing when I go back to look at it. :)
