(I also think that KWA doesn't have trades while the KSC does but I can't guarantee this).
Note also that KWA did "separate" from KSC a while ago and although they use the same GBB system they should be considered different entities, and they will not cross support the other companies products.

That summed it up quite nicely, L473ncy. That's my understanding as well. KSC Taiwan also has metal slides/full metal guns. KSC Japan is probably built for a slightly lower muzzle velocity, but is likely better than their Taiwanese counterparts in terms of fit, finish, reliability (due to lower FPS, at least I would think that this would improve reliability), and (this I can tell from pictures) the trades are more realistic in terms of colour (compare a KSC TW USP with a KSC JP USP - notice the whited out vs non-whited out trades? Now compare that to a RS USP). On that note, regarding trades, newer KWA's have fake white trades - chances are that the M93R that the OP is looking for will have those. AFAIK, KSC slides should fit on KWA's - I have yet to confirm this personally, but that might be something nice to know if you want to have more realistic trades (on your slide at least). Lastly, for all practical purposes, NS2 = System7, just from a different company and for a different national market.
Edit: Dang, those youtube reviews are shit.
