Hi Bilobi,
Both YW and SPC have long history and good "brandname". I don't know much about YW and my view is bound to be biased. Even one school might be better than the other, it was the parents' and the child's own effort and "luck" would count more in the final outcome.
In my biased views towards SPC, due to limited understanding of YW, the SPC has the following merits:
1. The new principal is making good influence to the school's performance, in a few years' time, it might help to make visible improvement. Dr. Kennard has posted his assembly speeches on web and is a good means to understand more about the SPC. Here is the link:

2. The tradition of the SPC is very admirable, e.g. she has taken in vision impaired students for over 40 years. No other teachings can create an environment to teach acceptance and diversity. Also be able to be part of 155 years of history will hopefully make the child having a sense of pride and responsibility. Of course, YW has the same long good tradition as well.
3. I have mentioned their preparation for the new 3-3-4 system, especially the new Liberal Studies, you can visit their LS PowerPoint for parents' info via the link below and have a judgement of your own;

4. SPC does have an academic gap when comparing with the schools such as DBS and SPCC. However, I am always contented with her academic strenght because according to the latest report from their web, if the child is in the top 50%, he will be fine.
5. SPC does not produce 10 As students and one of the reasons is that the school does not encourage the students to take 10 subjects. I find this a good policy as schooling shall not be just limited to As.
Finally, if I was in your position, I would make my choice due to other criteria such as travelling time or some minor impressions from all these visits.
Personally, I am not with Ms. Lam's style, I might get a lot of disapproved responses from YW's parents, as modesty is a rare but real virtue for children.
Please forgive my bias views.
