privacy

I currently use 1and1 as my domain registrar but am considering using another company in order to get a 10 year registration. I've noticed a couple of companys are charging for privacy, but Ive done it myself with my domain via the Nominet website.

Is there a difference?

The only one I can see is that my name is listed in the WHOIS information, whereas with these ID protect services my name is withheld.
