like you i have been trad for many years
i was very sceptical about wfp ,but went over to it about 2 years ago , and yes
i was not sure at first, but persevere with it, and you will soon get the knack
there are so many advantages,i still do trad mixed with wfp
and i use modular poles for 99% of my work, now they are light

good luck and stick with it
