A couple of things I've noticed (I'm using 10586.107 on a 640):
-Edge renders websites better than 8.1's IE. For example, on SFGate, the "latest news" links always gets cut off in IE. On Edge, the text doesn't get cut off.
-You can download maps to the SD card in 10. 8.1 doesn't let you do that.
-You have the new note and flashlight action buttons in the action center. This is a huge deal for me personally.
-Ability to scale the "Size of text, apps, and items on the display". I like to set it to 175% so that I can see more stuff on the screen at once.
-Ability to "show more tiles" on the start screen.
-The core apps are more featured (calculator comes with conversions, alarm comes with timers and world clock, etc.)
-You can edit Excel documents in the Excel app. Huge for me. In 8.1, I can only open the .xlsx docs as read-only.
Also, note that if you flashed the Tmo rom onto the unlocked ATT version of the 640, you will lose wifi calling.
Edit: Scratch that. You won't lose wifi calling. I don't know if it's because I reset my phone or because I updated to .122 (probably the former), but I have wifi calling once again.
There's bound to be more, but those are just the ones that I remember right off the bat.
