I'm not a physicist, I just pay some attention to these things. The Higgs particle was expected, and so finding it within expected ranges was confirmation of the standard model. The G-2 results are showing deviations from the expected ranges from the standard model. In the former case, Higgs, the standard was further, strongly confirmed. In the latter case, G-2, there's a strong indication that the standard model is fundamentally missing something. I think that's pretty exciting!
