I believe the main difference is the cut of the collar area and connection to the hood. The Alpha SL, when zipped up fully, should cover a larger portion of your lower face. This makes it better suited for use in an alpine climate/harsher weather. The Beta SL on the other hand has a collar which is perhaps more flattering, if tamed-down, whilst kickin' it around town.
