Total Links vs Google Webmaster Site Links
-
I am interested why the numbers between SEOmoz and Google are so different.
In SEOmoz we only show 17,000ish links from 190ish domains.
In Google, we show 200,000+ links from 370 domains.
Why is there such a dramatic difference?

It may have to do with the size of the index is tool is reporting from - obviously Google has a much larger index of the web and therefor can see more links.

Spot on, I generally just use OSE to check out competitor's backlinks.
To me, nothing beats the back link results from WMT.
Also keep in mind that more tools beside OSE are avaible:
