At first sight, his version for completing elisp (perhaps his version uses only the current buffer and not the internal lists?) is much faster, but I really liked that yours allow the user to isearch on the results and then show only those that matched. You guys should talk :) OTOH, none of those seems to provide a function like completing-read that I could use in my libraries...
