LTC confirms much faster.
This is a disturbingly common misconception. The security afforded by a 2.5 minute average confirmation block is 1/4 that of a 10 minute average confirmation block.
IT might be 1/4 as much security, but, at least for that first confirmation, you can at least see that it had valid inputs. That is worlds more security than accepting a zero confirmation transaction.
Thanks btcbobby. Sometimes posting here is like talking to a rock

for a small purchase the security of LTC is PERFECT!!
now for a real estate transaction, the conf. time of BTC, compared to the fiat transaction that takes days, is also PERFECT
