I was wondering what the chess community feels are the main differences between the Classical Dutch defence and the Modern Dutch Stonewall defence ?

I was wondering why a  chess player would choose one of the two systems over the other ?

I love the classical Dutch... I highly reccomend Simon Williams killer Dutch shook/book/DVD. Watch him on YouTube. I haven't tried the stonewall

Stonewall blocks centre but white can exploit e5 weak square.I think that both are playable, if u think that a weak square is not important then stonewall can be a good defence for you.
