Common Lisp doesn't have a focus that I am aware of. It is the language
that is most close to Emacs Lisp syntactically, and most emacs code that
doesn't have editor specific stuff will run in Common Lisp & vice versa.

The effort to "basically" understand CL is the same as the for scheme. Moreover
scheme has some exotic stuff like hygienic macros and continuations which are
not stuff you "basically understand in a day".

So with a common lisp system you get:
1) compilation to machine code
2) standardized implementation of classes
3) structures, hashes
4) Exceptions
With a scheme system you get
1) call-with-current-continuation
Moreover if you really like emacs based on scheme why not go for edwin?
