EBMAS or EWTO?

My instructor is now independent ( could no longer afford the licensing fees because of only so many students and starting a family ). My instructor is generally very highly skilled, but - with all due respect - never had the chance to learn things such as Blitz Defense. Thus, I would like to someday further my Wing Tsun education through other instructors.
I have been trying to research EWTO and EBMAS. Both of them seem to me to have equal pros and cons, so I can't make head or tail. Before I go any further, I have already read the various accusations and such that each party makes towards the other
( ie " Boztepe did not truly earn the 6th Practician title" , " Kernspecht expelled me because I was becoming too powerful", etc., etc.) Therefore, what I am seeking are more objective viewpoints (Okay, maybe a little dissing is unavoidable ). Are any of you with EBMAS? EWTO? Why did you stay with/join your present organization? Better yet, did any of you initially stay with EWTO but later change your mind and go over to EBMAS, or vice versa? How do both sets of experiences compare? Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thank you all very much in advance!
