From hands on using both:
The TM will beat the WE for quality, hands down, any day of the week.
If you want to skirmish it, get the Tokyo Marui.
The only benefit to getting the WE would be if you just really wanted to pull it off the shelf occasionally and feel the metal. But since the grips on all the double-stack .45's styled like the 5.1 and 4.3 are plastic (even the WA renditions), you'll be feeling the plastic grip anyways.
As for performance... The WE 5.1 I used was (among other uses) fired from a full magazine, indoors, fresh gas fill, and up to temperature.
Even the first shot was sluggish. It felt "heavy", and had "recoil", but never stopped feeling like it was struggling to perform what the TM version does effortlessly.
I'm sure the BB comes out fast enough, but it really just never felt like it was working properly.
The Tokyo Marui is fantastically speedy, and it shoots straight and far. The recoil won't rock your arm, but no airsoft pistol really has great "recoil". It does feel like it's really flinging the BB though, which is nice.
And like madmax says, when something does break, you can replace it.
I fully admit, I am biased in this advice. I have never had problems with TM pistols, and I have limited and unsuccessful experience with the WE guns. I could have had a bad sampling. But I do stand by my estimation that a TM gun is ultimately a lower risk of disappointment.
