The problem with the trad. position is that the guitar slips on your thigh if you dont lift the neck a lot. I play (almost) traditional posture, but I put a piece of rubber cloth between the guitar and the thigh. You know these rubber nets, 2mm thick, that you use for kitchens. This way the guitar doesnt slip and I can lower the neck, giving me a very relaxed playing position, and also, it makes it possible to play in different seat heights,sofa, chair etc. I used to play cross leg for years and I could do so for some hours a day, but its VERY bad for blod circulation and for the back. Remember that on order to play well, its important to to relax.
