trophies are way better than achievements. You actually level up, nothing happens with achievements. Oh wow I have a 11,578 gamer score on live. OK? So what makes that any different than my friend's 10,243? with trophies I have a level 6 avatar, and my brother has a level 5. A lot more compelling difference.

Trophies pictures look cooler too and they appear on the upper-rigth corner of the screen when you get them, not in the middle of the freaking action lol.

Just as you say, trophies categories : bronze, silver, gold and platinum tell a lot more information and make all the differences for the ones collecting them.

Achievements show up wherever the developer tells them to show up at
