Hi sigdoc1,
SQL Express has limitations on usable cpu/memory and other such limitations that make it unsuitable for production use.
For testing/lab work like you're doing, SQL Express is probably enough, but if you were going to be managing a normal workload, you would likely see performance issues in the product due to SQL Express limitations and also you would have to constantly watch for the 10 GB database limit which could be hit pretty fast if the system was being used regularly.
So for testing/evaluation, Express is fine, but for an actual VRO deployment, a full version would be required.
