The main difference is that you have to PRE purchase those 200 shirts with PrintMojo since the t-shirts are screen printed there.

Not sure which other companies you checked, but if you were looking at ones like CafePress/Spreadshirt, then the big difference would be that with those services, there are no up front costs to sell a t-shirt. They print them on "demand" using heat transfers or direct to garment printing.

So its a tradeoff of not carrying stock for less profit or carrying stock for more profit.
