Can you please explain what does a SQL Server 64 bit version brings into the table which a regular 32-bit doesnot have? In other words, why should I invest in 64-bit?

It brings you all the advantages of a 64 bit application has over a 32 bit application. Do you know what that mean?
Mainly it starts on a hardware level by the way the CPU) handles information. For example, a 32 bit CPU can only handle 2^32 bist, which limits it to 2Gb of RAM. The 64-bit can handle 2^64, which is a very large amounts of memory. You can easily conclude that any hardware improvement will positively affect every software that runs over it and SQL Server is no exception.
