Having handled both guns and owning the TM (I tell you my bias now) I find the build quality of the TM to be noticeably better. I've seen WE's non-fully functional out of the box whereas I've never seen a TM like that. I agree with the other people who said the WE's feel sluggish or rather that the TM feels snappier. Putting a KJW FMU P14.45 and a WE Hi-Capa side-by-side the feel is about the same, maybe a little more power out of the KJW.
From my understanding both guns are prone to the O-ring problem (Lord knows mine is) but there are plenty of upgrades out there from reputable companies (Shooter's Design, Laylax, PGC to name a few) to solve this issue. You can also just go out and get a slightly larger O-ring than the stock one to fix the problem.
By biggest beef with the WE though has to be the fact that the WE has an integrated rail...which doesn't fit anything. Highly frustrating to get a gun and then be unable to fit anything on the rail.
I mentioned this somewhere else but I found that, at least on the TM's, if you upgraded the hammer spring the grip safety would stop functioning. Put the stock spring back in and voila, the grip saftey works again.
