"Reserved" is just a coach seat.
"Business Class" is usually at the end of the train, sometimes with it's own snack car, so typically it's much quieter than coach. I always use Bus when I do the overnight from NY to Williamsburg. Daytime trips I use coach.
I think some of the Bus Class (the overnight anyway) has a little more room between seats, but they are still the very same seats you find in coach. Oh yeah - free non-alcholic drinks - (big deal) unless recent cutbacks have killed that.

I go in bus clas when I know I am travelling at peak time and it guarantees me a seat even on an unreserved train. It is usually one car in the back of the train. I have never seen it have its own cafe car and the seating to me seems the same. It is not as nice as travelling on a metroliner.
