Well, if you just want to limit it to the discussion of Elder vs Younger then I'm not sure there's much to dicuss. Because it seems like both younger or older would work in some way.

If Winter was younger, then she would not have had much time to spend with Weiss who was being groomed for taking over the SDC. Winter might also have been sent to another school far from the company HQ because there was no need for her to be there if she wasn't going to be in control of the company in the future. Weiss may have had to remain for personal tutoring.

If Winter was older, then she would not spend much time with Weiss because she was always off doing her own thing. She would not really want to take command of the company. For what reason? I dunno. Maybe she just doesn't like being all corporate? Or she doesn't have the business sense? Maybe she's in the military? Maybe she's a serious scholar?
