WE can either be great or utter crap due to the high lemon rate. If you want a showpiece, they'll do fine either way. Metal is a bit cheap; they don't take dings well and scrape easily. By not taking dings well, I mean they can outright crack from things the TM, WA, and other brands would shrug off.

Magazines are pretty crappy; usually leak, sometimes even out of the box and any base pads inevitably wobble. This wouldn't be a problem if their mags were compatible with other brands, but as far as I can tell the single stack mags are proprietary. Really quite sad though, because it seems that most of the other problems can be solved.
A minor nitpick, but if you're looking for a reenacting pistol, the WE has a shiny chrome barrel never used in the original 1911s and 1911A1s.

By fitment I think they mean how the parts interlock and tolerances.
My TM MEU has almost no rattle in it, and the all the parts fit tightly but work well. Isn't just for my sidearms either; my teammates' Hi Capa 5.1s and Sigs have similar tolerances.
No matter what you say about the other issues, you have to admit that the WE techs do rattle horribly.

I suppose you could solve problems in the WE with a bit of work like Drake stated, but I'd get the TM because you rarely find any problems, period.

Most of their newer pistols are good with propane. Just don't use it in their Desert Eagles. I know the M92s, Glock 17 3rd gen, capa series, 1911 and MEU, Sig all work well.

1911 is good for period loadouts. The MEU has lots of the nice features on modern 1911s. However, they aren't quite as skirmish friendly as the Capa series due to a pretty low gas capacity. I typically load 20 into an MEU mag instead of 28.
