I would say that Taylor goes way more in depth on the topics but Morin does go into things like Lagrangian mechanics, vibrational modes, and even some introductory general relativity (which is my most favorite subject in all of physics xP).

At first I read that as "introductory general relativity" is your most favourite subject in all of physics, and I was about to say if what you are interested in is "introductory", then I really wonder what is "advanced general relativity"!
