TAG vs LAG

I have been nitting it up a bit lately and recently watched a leggo vid by cntgetmedown which gave a good explanation of the pros and cons of each style:

TAG Advantages
  1. Easier to play well
  2. Lower Variance
  3. Less likely to tilt

TAG Disadvantages

  1. Giving up some EV
  2. Not getting action
  3. Hard to build table image

LAG Advantages

  1. Take advantage of weaker players
  2. Easier to creat table image
  3. Will get more action

LAG Disadvantages

  1. More likely to tilt
  2. Harder to play well
  3. Increased variance

The crucial thing here is if you play LAG at low stakes, but sometimes go on tilt, you are much better of just playing TAG and letting the money come to you.
