According to what Red Hat has stated, and printed I do believe, AS and 
ES will now have the same package set, just different support models.  
Such as you can only use ES with 2 physical CPUs or less, and 4gigs of 
ram or less.  If you use more than 2 CPUs (Hyperthreading not counted), 
or more than 4 gigs of ram, you have to use AS or WS.  Most likely you 
won't be using WS, unless it's a graphics render station w/ a buttload 
of ram, since a system of that magnitude is most often a server of some 
kind, but you'll be forced into the minimum $1500/y price tag for AS. 
Not because you need different packages, but because you have to pay a 
premium for premium hardware.  Taxing the rich if you will.
