Hmmm... Seems like you are trying to compare apples with oranges :)..
MIME is a generic packaging mechanism used widely in the internet & in emails. It has the downfall of searching for the boundary.. DIME is another packaging mechanism which does not depend on a boundary.. MTOM & SwA are different mechanisms which allows the users to use binary attachments together with SOAP. Both of them uses MIME as the packaging mechanism, but allows room for other packaging mechanisms too... For an example somebody can make MTOM to work with DIME too...
If MTOM use a MIME multipart/related why is MTOM better than MIMIE?
I think your point is why MTOM is better than SOAP with Attachments. MTOM together with XOP provides binary support at the infoset level, similar to embedding an image in a web page. While SwA treats the attachment as an separate entity just like sending attachments with e--mails..
