Some definite things you will notice:

Tuning...the higher end guitars will stay in tune better and be easier to accurately tune

Intonation...a more well constructed guitar will stay in tune the higher up the neck you play

(as already said) Ease of play.

Durability...some cheaper guitars will fall apart...I recently had to put the neck back on my cousins really cheap guitar because the string tension pulled it away from the body (she swears it wasn't dropped)

If you are looking for a good playing, good sounding, cheaper acoustic...I would recommend an Epiphone Masterbilt or a Blueridge or a Recording King. There are definitely others but for around $500ish you can get a good sounding all solid wood guitar. DEFINITELY have it professionally set up...that could really make or break you as a future guitarist. I know so many people who have quit the guitar because it hurt too much to play...and it doesn't have to.
