I have not tried the WE G17, but my TM G17 was plagued with problems once I started modding it to high heaven (added a metal slide, hammer spring, recoil spring, flute valve). Now I don't even bother with it. If I had kept it stock it would probably still be working.
I can tell you that WE has definitely stepped up QC. I have been running a WE G18c for a couple weeks right now, and it performs really well (after modding that detent pin of course). Their XDM line has really impressed me, and their M9 series has a very quick and crisp blowback compared to the KJW line.
Choosing a WE G17 is not a bad decision if you're truly after a Glock with a metal slide. TM Glocks really are for the connoisseurs nowadays.
And if it's function versus form, you may want to check out the KWA ATP.

Thanks for the info. I picked up the Vx4 Storm today and I'm grabbing the Glock 17 in a couple of weeks.
