Darcy is very wealthy, highly educated, and very well connected. He comes from an important family with ties to the upper aristocracy. By contrast, Elizabeth's family is not wealthy, she has no dowry at all, she is entirely self educated, and has no connections to speak of. Her ties to the gentry are to the least important, and her ties to the middle class are far more important.

Another issue is that Elizabeth's family has people in it who are unable to act with proper decorum, including her mother, and three of her younger sisters. We might speculate that Darcy came to understand that Elizabeth's mother differed from Lady Catherine primarily in the fact that Lady Catherine had lots of money, and Mrs Bennet had none to speak of.
