1) Their sushi is gimmicky and non-traditional. While this isn't necessarily a bad thing, I think the size of the sushi hurts small groups, because you can't try a variety without being filled up fast. If you're dining with a bigger group, it becomes easier to order different items.
2) Their nigiri sushi is expensive. You get bigger pieces, but the difference isn't enough to justify double the price in some cases (Unagi).
3) Their rice is average. The biggest factor in determining good sushi needs to be rice first, fish second. I feel Towa falls short of some of the other listed places in the rice category.
4) I haven't been there in a while, so my opinion is probably skewed a little bit. I'm eating there tomorrow night and I will probably be reminded of how tasty it is.

I agree with a few of your points but I find that Misato's uses far too much rice for a lot of their roles. Towa's rolls are big, yes, but I find there is some much stuffed inside the nori that they stand out over Misto's. But again, if you are particular about the rice then you would probably prefer Misato's for this very reason.
I am no means an expert on Sushi, I just love eating it. I rarely get Nigiri as it tends to get really expensive but sometimes I will get a piece or two. Sashimi is only for special occasions and I cannot comment on Towa's as I have yet to try it.
I am going to go to Towa this weekend... along with all of CP
