If you want the main difference between the Excel add-in and smartview I'd say it's just they way it connects and retrieves the data. the add-in uses the grid api and tcpip and smartview uses java on the web. There are a ton of differences between the supplement and smartview, but as the versions come thay are close. Here are a few others can add to the list:

---------------------------------------------------------------------Add-in------------------------------smartview
works on several office products - no - yes
Can connect to
Essbase-----------------------------------------------------------No---------------------------------------Yes
HFM----------------------------------------------------------------No---------------------------------------Yes
Planning----------------------------------------------------------No---------------------------------------Yes
Can view members and aliases at once - Yes - No
Leaf specific options - Yes - No
Great shims formatting - Yes - sometimes
