The class of local operations and classical communication (LOCC) pertains to an important measurement scenario in many quantum communication schemes. While LOCC belongs to the more general class of separable operations (SEP), the exact difference between the two remains a challenging open problem. In this article, we seek to better understand the structure of LOCC and its relationship to SEP by comparing their respective abilities for distilling EPR entanglement from one copy of an $N$-qubit W-class state (i.e. that of the form $\sqrt{x_0}\ket{00...0}+\sqrt{x_1}\ket{10...0}+...+\sqrt{x_n}\ket{00...1}$). In terms of transformation success probability, we are able to quantify a gap as large as 37% between the two classes. Our work involves constructing new analytic entanglement monotones for W-class states which can increase on average by separable operations. Additionally, we are able to show that the set of LOCC operations, considered as a subset of the most general quantum measurements, is not closed.
