Honestly? Not really They're sidegrades at best at full forma, and before then PLatron outclasses WLatron hands-down. I have both and can say that WLatron's much more comfortable and consistent personally.

PLatron has better damage per shot innately, and a crit build that favores the WLatron still caps out at 4 damage/shot less (Serration, Split Chamber, Point Strike, Vital Sense, Stormbringer, Infected Clip, Bladed Rounds, Argon Scope), before factoring status (PLatron is better but has a worse IPS spread). PLatron has higher damage when it does crit, WLatron almost always crits every shot.

Recoil's about the same so their fire rates are both handicapped to about 3 shots/second after you get used to the recoil.

Big difference is if you go for headshots there are far better and more comfortable weapons. With the constant bucking on the weapon you're going to be hard-pressed to land a proper shot in the heat of the moment. However, headshots are still nice when they do happen, and WLatron's damage per shot edges out PLatron's by about 20% at full build on headshots specifically (using Argon and Bladed; a Primed Bane mod in place of Argon or Bladed changes these figures drastically in favor of PLatron but requires more maintenance).
