Form collectors are always on the lookout for novelty. They seek quantity not quality. It is like an absurd quest for a shortcut. In looking so hard they miss the subtle.
A good form is not necessarily style-specific. Yang, Chen, Wu, Sun, Hao and Cheng Man Ching are all different approaches to the same basic principles.
Providing your form is good for your body and contains tai chi classics, 13 postures, neigong, jing, dim-mak, chin na, applications, fa jing, 4 ounces of pressure, softness and yielding - it is probably worth learning.
Find a form that works for you and practice it thoroughly. Train it enough and your body will feel to move all by itself.
