I don't have a Live, but I still have the app on my phone and it gives me yardages and so on. I wouldn't bother paying the extra. Not sure what the added benefit is. Bare in mind you can't use the phone bit in tournament play anyway.
I guess the main benefit (for some folks) is that as you play the round everything is live and you can sign the round straight away and not go back and upload via a computer.
I see they have just released a feature for Live devices, where if your playing in a friendly match, you can choose a format between you (if there are multiple users of a Live on course at the same time) and it will give a live leaderboard for the round (e.g Matchplay)

That being said i have a Live and only use it Live if i'm playing more than 1 round a day, so i can see the stats before the 2nd round to get a view on how i'm doing/strategy for the next round
I only got the live as i had the classic and they offered a really good upgrade deal when it came out, so managed to move my classic on for more than the upgrade fee.
