However, when you turn versioning on you can limit the number of versions, e.g. you can say, 'only retain the last 3 versions'. Older versions are first moved to your wastebasket and finally deleted when the wastebasket is emptied. Until then older versions can be retreived. Very flexible!

Excel Services! Being able to share the file to others through the thin client without them needing to have Excel 2010 on their desktops. And they can interact with the file. They wouldn't even know that it was an Excel file either with embedded data. Being able to share specific portions of the files and making it available to others in a secure environment is very powerful and slick. Thought of another one. Excel Services!

The data refresh will be nice, but I don't believe that is specific to SharePoint. Versioning will be a nice feature, if people have this turned on for the document library. This could turn into a space issue though... Workflow will definitely be nice for approval processes before the data is allowed to be made public.
