I own both and took a bit of a leap on the Windicator. I was looking for a gun to drag around when I was up north camping or backpacking. My requirements were not robust..... I wanted a gun that could digest .357's, went bang every time I pulled the trigger, was reasonably accurate (IE dinner plate sized accuracy at 7-10 yards) and a price tag south of $300. The Windicator delivered. Its heavy enough shooting full load .357's is manageable. I have never had a cylinder lock issue with .357's but I do wipe the gun down if I use it heavy before re holstering. In a place where the gun will get dirty, wet, dinged up, ride on my hip 24/7 (or how ever long I'm up there) this gun fit the bill.
With that said I just recently purchased an LCR 357 and I would be hard pressed to compare the Windicator favorably to the LCR. For the right role and so long as you know what to expect I think the Windicator is a fine gun. Make sure you can inspect the one your getting prior to paying for it and as long as you don't expect too much its worth the price.
OP I'm glad you like your Windicator and got a good example of one. I lean the other way favoring my LCR but both still have a place in my collection and will for sometime.
