With a HELOC you only pay on the money you are actually using not the total credit line.For example if you have a HELOC for $100k and only use $20k of it you then you only pay on the $20k borrowed.Whereas with a mortgage if you refinance for the $100k you are paying on that entire amount from day one.Also as you've already pointed out you can typically get better rates with a HELOC.
