Both programs are designed for different tasks. GarageBand is great for mixing and arranging music, and MainStage for life performances of music. And Mainstage is a great add on for GarageBand. It will give you plenty of additional sounds and loops, for example all five Jam Packs, so you will get great symphony orchestra instruments, world music, or rhythm sections. You can use the JamPacks and the loops in garageBAnd as well.
