I will concede that Wasabj may be a bit cheaper for impatient participants. However, Whirlpool is much cheaper the longer you mix. If you mix indefinitely, the price per anonset tends to zero. The Wasabi model never offers this.

As for your second assertion, having more pools doesn't lead to less privacy. Privacy is solely a function of anonymity sets, it has nothing to do with pool sizes.

Anyway, since I'm not affiliated with Whirlpool and I'm not on their payroll, you should ask them directly about some of their design decisions.
