Besides cosmetic finish and lack of finger notch, what is the functional difference between the TF maboroshi and nashiji series in performance, sharpening, and care, etc?
 
Others will know more about this, but as far as I know, the main difference is that Nashiji uses pre-laminated pieces of steel, while Maboroshi is made in-house. Inhowfar this actually translates into performance differences as far as the steel quality is concerned, opinions will vary. I have my doubts that blind testing would reveal dramatic differences, but other people might be more sensitive than me.
The Nashiji-knives I have handled tended to be somewhat slimmer than Maboroshi, which I actually preferred, but you might not. Mab is nicer since it is a more individual finish.
I would be pretty sure that as far as sharpening and care are concerned, the lines are identical.
