Pros and cons of MIT Scheme and DrScheme for studying SICP [closed]

What are the pros and cons of using MIT Scheme versus using DrScheme, in the context of trying to go through SICP (presumably simultaneously to watching some / all the MIT 6.001 videos)?

I switched from MIT Scheme to DrScheme specifically because I couldn't get a version of MIT that runs on 64-bit Windows. I run DrScheme with the Language "Module" selected to do the SICP exercises.
