It's two completely different "themes" that also works differently.
iO "just" a skin, while ACE is much more like a framework that completely changes the appearance and interaction with your board.
Personally, I tried ACE but it wasn't so easy for me to approach so I decided to stay with iO.
Probably because at the moment I don't have the patience to mess around and understand the concept of this new approach, and I'm sure it's going to be a trauma for my users if I change the board layout now that they got used to it.
Anyway, if your board it's still "under construction" try ACE and see if it can work for you. I definitely would have had this chance when I started messing with XenForo last winter!
I would also consider that it's free for the moment, but it will become a paid item (95$/year if I recall well) when the beta testing will be over, next year
