The key difference is when the report is ready for consumption you share it via an App from the workspace. THis will allow the users who consume the report to only see the end result, which is also read only. Along with this when App Workspace members make changes it does not automatically update to the App. You still have to manually update the App for the changes to be deployed.
Also in the near future there was an announcement at Microsoft Ignite where a single dataset will be able to be shared across multiple App Workspaces. Once this is done, you could then have a single dataset, and a development App Workspace and a Production App Workspace.

Thanks, Gilbert. I'll look into creating an App to store the consumable reports.
