Newbie question: Which is more versatile, Table[] or Array[]?

I'm reading the Schaum's Outline for Mathematica and am in the chapter
concerning list manipulation.  So far, the only difference I can tell
between the Array[] and Table[] commands is that with Table, you use
an expression as the first parameter/argument and with Array, you use
a function.  The other parameters, of course, are tailored differently
because they support the first parameter i.e. expression or function.

Anyone know of any significant difference between these two commands
other than syntax?  Please feel free to e-mail me at
stpatryck at gmail.com.

Thanks,
Patrick
