The advantage of WEAP over SWAT is that it WEAP has more flexible data inputs, whereas SWAT requires significant amounts of data. WEAP also performs priority based water allocation, whereas I am not sure if SWAT does. If you do have a lot of input data available, then SWAT can offer very detailed results.
