What do you gain by upgrading from
XP Pro to Win 7 Pro ?

Support, better security, compatibility with modern applications...
Win 7 64 bit is useful, XP 64 bit lacked driver support.
Start button search is quite handy.

And what do you lose ?

Support for older hardware and applications (although you may be able to
use them with an XP virtual machine)

Slight learning curve getting used to changes.
