Its got lifetime map updates and a historical road speed database for more intelligent routing. The Garmin has a brighter screen and a better mount. Personally, I prefer the Garmin interface and would probably choose it for myself. I also prefer 4.3" models to 5", just because of portability and taking up less space on the dash. Finally, I'm seeing a fair number of reports of problems with the TomTom 5x0 models, though that could just be an indication of how many are out there. They were very popular over the holidays.

As long as you received a lifetime map updates card with it, it's fine. Garmin recently moved to the LMT nomenclature. Before that, lifetime map units were just bundled with a map update card, and sometimes listed as LMU. They are basically the same.
