my WE is still going strong, and its a version 1! just broke the charging handle actually, but that was a well known problem with the V1s (now fixed).
i have no idea how many rounds she has, but damn. its a V1. it was made over a year ago . no upgrades, no mods, nothing. if thats not the definition of a tank, i dunno what is.
if you like to tinker, clean and maintain, and generally work on your gun, then go WE.
if you want to pull it out of the closet, play a game, then put it away till the next game, go KJW. thats not to say that the WE is high maintenance, or that the KJW is maintenance free, thats just a general conclusion iv come to after about a year of reading about both systems.
if you want real steel accessories/furniture, go WE. no system can beat it for that. off the top of my head it is 100% real steel compatible with everything from the buffer tube back, the buffer and spring, the pistol grip, mag release, and rail are all drop in replaceable for RS parts. they can even use RS charging handle with a simple mod or use RS mag shells (pmag for example) with some sanding and filing. not sure about KJW/RS compatibility, though i think that system went the other way and is more AEG compatible (aka cheaper).
as for aftermarket, WE wins. the only real after market manufacturer for KJW is cradle. all this stuff about Prometheus, Ninebal, etc is all talk as far as i know and no actual parts have been made available. WE on the other hand has RA-Tech, TSC (not very good admittedly), stinger, and PMC. im probably missing a few but such is life.
in the end, determine your needs, do your research and make a choice that you are comfortable with. you wont be disappointed.
