Besides 100 dollars, that is.
I'm a mostly casual gamer - I don't care about having the best of the best, but if it's definitely worth the extra money, I don't mind getting it.
Though I'd rather buy a monitor that's a few inches bigger with that money. :)

The first poster has summed it up nicely. The GT is more of a high-end card, whereas the GTS is midrange (there's a 320mb version of the 8800GTS available for around $250)
For casual gaming, you're unlikely to see any real benefits from the more expensive card.
Here's a head-to head comparison:

The 8800 GT is based in the new G92 GPU from Nvidia and is based in a 65 nm process. It has twice the bandwidth of the 8600 GTS.
All you need to know is that the 8800 Gt is about 2x as powerful as the 8600 GTS.
