I found that the traditional wc is better because of 50/50 weight distribution, no leaning on back foot when you move, enabling you to move much faster and have more balance. Also the hand movements are better i think because for example- the bong-sao is more extended, so it does not collapse when it meets to much resistance. It deflects a punch better that way. The twc guard is better because it protects your head better. The footwork is different cause in twc we step toe-heel, and have 50/50 balance, and don’t pivot the feet like the modified wcers do. We lift are feet to step around opponent's leg, and the pivoting can be good on a slippery floor, but if your on a rough surface you cant pivot as well and you become slower with your footwork. In twc it doesn’t matter what surface you are on because you lift your feet more. i noticed the modified wcers are pretty good at really close range like elbow range therefore really good at chi-sao, but are really bad when they are a little further out, at wrist range and kicking range. I noticed when I spar a modified wc dude he tries to jump into really close range, because he sucks in wrist range. Thats just my oppinion and reasons why i do twc instead of some other lineage.
