Scheme or Common Lisp?

Yes, it's a “which programming language to leran ???” thread, but this time it's ...more specific I guess?

So I already know C and Perl and wish to acquaint myself with other paradigms than the procedural and object-oriented ones I've become uncomfortably familiar with (i.e., functional). I also intend to learn Haskell at some point in the future in order to complete the holy trinity of syntaxes.

So, /anus/. Regarding the thread title, what are the differences that you find make you prefer one Lisp dialect to another? Is there even much of a difference? Or did you just choose one as your way of saying, “I've read SICP”?

Replacing every binding form or code walking is not doing something in portable CL. It is creating a new language. You wouldn't say every CL feature is doable in x86 assembly because SBCL exists.
