Ohw Senjumaru, you better don't die on us right now!

For some time I have been wondering why things aren't really rollin' for the Seireitei and the Royal Guard. Are the Quincy that much stronger "muscle-wise"? Are they stronger when it comes to their resolve? Did the Quincy really have more time to plan the attack as did the Seireitei and Royal Guard? While it seems some questions may have straight-forward answers, but whatever the real motives for the outbreak of this war, it kinda feels that right now one of the reasons for the Shinigami looking relatively weak might be that this is also a battle between the "traditional old" and the "modern new". And whereas tactics don't go "out of style" that easily, morals and the way of things kinda do.
