Well first off just cuz BG I is 5 disks I wouldn't say its larger. I think BG II has less disk space but could take more time to play (more quests packed into less areas etc). Afterall alot of BG I is just wilderness and random encounters.
As for actual differences well yes it is true the xp cap is low. But you start out a complete peon and advance very slowly (monsters you would laugh at in BG II you run in fear from in BG I). There is a great feeling of satisfaction in BG I at the completion of a hard fight or the gaining of a level due to this.
There is less character interaction and no romance or strongholds etc in BG I but you feel probably more connected with your main char as well as the other party members in some ways since its like you were raising them since childhood. All in all BG II is BG I on a much grander scale. I liked it a great deal although BG II improved on many things.
