Real difference between classic and expert?

I know the only difference between expert and master is the difficulty itself, but what are the big differences between classic and expert? Are there actually new items (mostly concerned about lategame) or is the big difference just the difficulty? Thanks in advance

Drop rates increased, new AI on enemies. Big increase in attack + hp of enemies.
Enemies now drop treasure bags with unique items.
Get an extra accessory slot after WoF.
Some enemies have new attacks.
Debuffs last longer are a few

Reasons why you should play on expert+ (minus longer debuffs, a specific ♥♥♥♥ you both figuratively and literally to spiked jungle slimes):

"Enemies now drop treasure bags with unique items" This is what i'm mostly interested in. Are the new drops that good/necessary would you say?

They range from useful to some of the best items in the game. Also, the treasure bags double the boss drops basically - they match the drops of the boss it dropped from, plus the guaranteed unique item/s.

As for specifics, the page "Expert-exclusive content" on the wiki lists all the content exclusive to expert mode (and up), and the page "Expert Mode" lists all the changes. You can also visit the "Treasure Bag" page if that's all you are interested in.
