I just compared the two carefully. You only lose the SR and your darkvision becomes 60' rather than 120'. But the big thing I discovered is that the 'lesser' Drow is +0 LA not +1. So, in addition to taking a full 5 levels of Warlock, you'd have an extra level to play with (probably to go to Cleric 4, but a dip into something else might also be good).
I'll end up pretty un-optimized if you all go like this. Maybe I should take out my feral mineral (crystaline) warrior dwarf with hatred for undead? Slow, but hey, he can take a beating.
