I won't try talk you out of the LW to TW. I think the LW is the best PW single throttle transformer, and I have several models including 2 LWs, 2RWs, 2 1033s, 2 TWs, and a couple of small ones.
I've had good experience with the TW but perhaps because I recognize it's advertisement as a 175W is a stretch. If one reserves it for a small loop and then uses the extra ports for accessories, I THINK it's fine. My guess is that many of the repairs cited above were by people who tried to make into more than it is.
