SSRS Reports - Client vs Server Development

We're currently using Crystal for all our reporting needs, and, for various reasons, we're exploring alternatives. We're looking at client based reporting. I'm comparing C# based reporting tools (like Telerik) to SSRS. I have some light experience with SSRS reports. I have a couple questions regarding these:

  1. Is there any difference in the features/functionality available if you are developing reports to be run on the server vs. reports to be run in the client (Microsoft Report Viewer).

  2. We're using Visual Studio 2010. Does that contain the very latest Microsoft Report Viewer release? If not, where would I get the latest?

Thanks.

1 - The only difference development wise are the options you have available to you for exporting the data

2 - Yes, 2010 would have a report viewer control.

My only advice is to be mindful of the differences between .rdl and .rdlc (.rdl is SSRS, .rdlc is built and stored in the web app, not SSRS, so the rendering is done by the web app).
