I'm being dense, I know: why can't you do all of the above with a non-TSE lens?
There will be distortion if you use your ballhead to tilt a normal lens up/down. The TS-E uses straight up/down action to move the lens. Very cool. They stitch together with no errors at all. And you can maneuver in tight spaces nicely Example here: http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?p=559833#post559833
I do believe that I've pinched my fingers with the TS-E's more than anyone on earth FWIW
I still think of the three of them, the 45 TS-E is my favorite in terms of quality/usefulness. That being said, the 24 would easily stay in my bag full-time for wildflower season.
