To me the biggest advantage (which Arc shares) is that the core language can change if it is advantageous to do so.

Scheme has the RnRx process, which seems slow moving to me, and lately steeped in a little more drama than I like. I'm not sure when the last time the ANSI spec for Common Lisp was changed.

I know you can change Common Lisp and Scheme via libraries, but that's not the same as everyone having the same functionality when they are on the same versions.
