Your English translation is not bad. I prefer traditional characters not only because they are more beautiful looking but all the Chinese culture is imbued in them. For example, 風 vs 风. If one closely look at the traditional form, it has a slant and the radical for insect. Ancient Chinese believed that wind is created by the beating of insects' wings! The outer box shape like thing represents the wavefront!
So I prefer traditional ones although there are some I elect to use because of their logical meaning and convenience such as,
better meaning
泪 (淚) water from the eyes, tears
坟 (墳) writing on the earth ie tomb
convenience
才 (纔), 粗 (麤), 体 (體) etc
but NEVER, to me these are distinct characters with different meanings but lumped together for convenience. Sloppy job
游 for 遊 or
干 for 亁, 乾
