It usually comes down to better food and more space/comfort. Sometimes more attention per passenger.
I think you get the pod seats in Business, so not sure if there's a big difference there.
Personally I think both Business & First are a huge ripoff for what you get for the money (whether it's in point form or not). Can't imagine it unless it was on someone else's dime, or I was so ludicrously rich that money had no value to me.
Assuming an Aeroplan point is worth about 1.6 cents per mile ...

40,000 points = $640 for slightly better food and a little more comfort.
Can think of some pretty nice restaurants a couple could eat at for $640. Or pay for a nicer room in Hawaii (and it will last the whole week). Hell, that's another flight to Hawaii.
