Lots and lots and lots of more spell power, a lot more spells one can learn, and less hitpoints and attacks.

An EK 6 / Wiz 6 for example has spellcaster level 8 and gets level 4 spells.

An EK 12 has caster level 4 and gets level 2 spells AND only a few of them.

The cost, of course, being--most notably--two attacks instead of three and three feats instead of four.

In addition to what's mentioned above, the wizard also comes with a subclass that could add potential.
