[Product plug]
We use Red-Gate SQL data compare for this job and it is excellent but a bit expensive for a single requirement.
[/Product plug]

Do an inner join between the 2 tables using EVERY column, this will identify the identical records, then select from the(s) where the Ids are not in the inner join.

Inspect this result and discard the joins that are not relevant and repeat.

When you have the critical records decide what you need to do to merge them.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity
