The numbers of the points you actually get to eat are pretty much identical for both programs. On winning points you eat five more points per day, but can bank or save points to use later. The flex points deducts those five points from daily and starts you with 35 flex points (consider it an automatic deposit rather than savings). In essence, with winning points, WW has done your "banking" for you.
I was a WW member during the switch, and there were alot of people who complained that they couldn't lose on the "new" way, but the numbers are really the same, so I think it is a mindset thing. If you don't go off program, either will work equally as well, because the number of points are exactly the same.
I know some people liked one plan over the other, but as long as you're "spending habits" don't change, it really doesn't matter if you get paid at the beginning or end of the week.
