Z68 can use intel's built-in graphics, P67 needs a discrete card. Only difference left is features. I have a P67. The only real advantage to getting a Z68 over a P67 is if you ever have to take your GPU out, or if you do a lot of video encoding (I don't think P67 can do Lucid Logix, don't quote me on that though).

Z68 also allows you to use a SSD as a cache for the harddrive. That way you can buy a small SSD and get some improvement in speed from your harddrive. P67 can't do that. Some expensive Z68 motherboards have a buildin 20 gb SSD that works like that, but you can also buy a separate SSD for it.

But most who buy SSD use it as the main storage device and not a cache for the HDD, so it does not become an issue.
