Yep, two rack space half-rack size (huh?) for the Filter Queen, and 
two rack space full-size for the Filter Factory.

And MIDI.  The Filter Factory has it, while it's lacking on the 
Filter Queen.  The I/O is a bit different too, I think.  The Filter 
Factory has additional RCA jacks for the DJ market, and the Filter 
Queen has a footpedal jack for something like an EV-5 to manually 
sweep the filter.  I don't know if those features are mirrored on 
both units or not.

Also, one of the reviewers on Sonicstate claimed there was a 
difference in character between the two (but didn't elaborate).  It's 
analog, though, so you could probably just as well claim that there's 
a difference in character between two individual Filter Factories, or 
two Filter Queens.

Both the manuals are online at 
http://www.electrixpro.com/support/manuals.html , so you can verify 
the configurations for certain.  But, overall, I don't think there's 
a whole lotta difference between the two, especially if MIDI is not a 
differentiating factor for you.
