The massive barrier that is Metrotown Mall negates any chance of Metrotown becoming a true downtown. There is no street grid in Metrotown, and a tight street grid is what's needed in order to have walk-able streets.
Brentwood on the other hand does have decent street grid that would provide easy access to transit and retail. Access to a street such as Dawson, which has far more potential than Beresford as a high street.
Metrotown may get the better civic amenities, but ultimately, Brentwood will be far more pedestrian friendly
