Iv handle the WE, i was far from impress. Aftermarket sucks for it. The design is also more complicated.
I can tell you also, the aftermarket companies like RA-TECH are concentrating on the WA design, and not the WE.

The availability of aftermarket parts is
not always a positive. What people should consider is whether a product can stand on itself own, or is it being propped up by a lot of other products.
The WA system is not blessed with aftermarket parts because of its popularity, on the contrary it
needs all the aftermarket internal and external parts to be a viable platform because the WA system was designed to be a plastic gun running off duster. Just as crucially, WA itself has done zero refinement/revision and offers no technical support I know of.
The WE system does not need all the aftermarket internals and external parts because it was designed to be a metal gun supporting up to CO2 out of the box, and WE itself continues to refine/revise each generation so there's continuous system growth and maturity. In addition, WE offers a reasonable degree of technical support. So even if there were a ton of aftermarket parts for the WE, there still would be very few reasons to buy them. Finally, out of the box, the WE system even seems to have received some positive feedback from the mil/LE training ilk.
I'll probably one-night stand a WA, but I'll marry a WE.
