Difference between 3dMark and 3dMark demo?

I want to download 3dmark to benchmark my main work/gaming pc. I saw on steam it is 25$, then I noticed there was a demo. Is there any disadvantage to benchmarking with demo version? Maybe no physics test or whatever?

 

Or is it just that the full version is for businesses or something?

I dunno, the demo worked fine for me.

Was able to do some benchmarks just easily

The full version has a few more features (FireStrike Extreme being one of them) and you can skip the demo.

 

The only disadvantage the demo has when benchmarking is: you can't technically skip the demo which is about as long as the benchmark, if not longer. If you want to skip the demo you have to alt+tab but it messes with the results. That and you don't have access to the extreme benchmark.
