I bought Path Finder before Total Finder was ready. That being said there are still a few things that pathfinder has which may be nice - but the software is expensive. You can assign hotkeys to any menu item. It has "shelves" that let you access processes, a terminal, and reccents very easily. It cycles through icons like other file managers do (i.e. as I push arrow right, the selection will wrap to the next line) You can view coverflow with any type of other view (i.e. it doesn't have to be list view to be in cover flow. There is extra info available under files. The context menu is customizable as well. Most of this stuff is power user stuff so it may not matter to most.
