That's pretty much it.
I don't think either company has stricter standards, but they do put more emphasis on different things. PSA sometimes seems to ignore paper loss especially if it's minor or doesn't affect the image. Like a bit on the back of a T206 that doesn't remove any of the design. SGC seems to penalize any paper loss more. On the other hand, PSA seems pretty strict on centering, while SGC is less so. They both are somewhat inconsistent on corners, I've seen some SGC 60 T206s that look a lot closer to VG, some a whole lot closer. Both also seem to vary on creases. Sometimes really coming down hard on them sometimes not.
Anyone trying crossovers should spend some time learning what stuff their favorite company penalizes more and avoid those cards.
