[Proj] Are they six of one...

[Roger Oberholtzer]

I am calculating northings/eastings in SWEREF99 TM, from WGS84
lat/longs. I see that I can specify the calculation in two ways:

"+proj=utm +zone=33 +ellps=GRS80
	+towgs84=0,0,0,0,0,0,0 +no_defs"

"+proj=tmerc +ellps=GRS80 +k=0.9996 +x_0=500000 +y_0=0
	+lon_0=15.0  +lat_0=0.0
	+towgs84=0,0,0,0,0,0,0 +no_defs"

and I get identical results. So I am wondering if either specification
has merit over the other. If no difference in results, could there be
any possible difference in calculation speed? Or any other non-religious
reason to choose one over the other?
