I split the thread because I think it's a good question.
Personally, I've dabbled in WCS. I've not had time to devote to it in the last year or two, but I may give it another go at some point.
But as a WCS beginner leader, I find my own limited repertoire of moves is very boring after a while. Although people following me may not mind too much as they only have to dance with me once, for myself it gets boring. So a solid night of WCS would be a daunting prospect - an event with a mix of MJ and WCS would be much easier for me as I could go back to MJ to relax and add variety.
So if I was going to take up WCS again, I'd definitely look for mixed events, at least for a while until I was truly confident at WCS. I think mixed events definitely have an appeal for the transitioning leader - but it's also good to be at an event where there are some good WCS dancers to aspire to.
