I'm in a similar situation as you as well .. we waited to integrate
sfGuard after some time and already have code based on our "normal"
user class. So far, the integration/transition is going well.
That said, I'm not sure what your actual question is.

What sort of problems are you dealing with, exactly?
As you mentioned, sfGuard can retrieve a "profile" class/table that
has all "the extra" user info that your current object may have that
the normal sf_guard_user table doesn't.
To configure sfGuard to use your current class, this is what you'll
need to drop into your app.yml file:
all:
sf_guard_plugin:
profile_class: MyUserProfile
profile_field_name: id
where the `profile_class` variable is set to the name of your current
"User" class that sfGuard is "taking over" and `profile_field_name` is
the name column in your `profile_class` that is the foreign_key into
the sfGuard's `id`
Finally, you can access your current user class by calling the
sfGuardUser->getProfile() method.
You may find it convenient to add methods to the sfGuardUser class
that delegate to your inner profile so the amount of changes you do to
your existing codebase is minimal.
For instance, say your `MyUserProfile` class has a `doSomething`
method. Instead of changing your existing code to do something like:
$user->getProfile()->doSomething()` you can just add a `doSomething`
method to the sfGuardUser class that encapsulates this for you:
class sfGuardUser {
...
public function doSomething() {
return $this->getProfile()->doSomething();
}
}
That's all the advice I have for you at the moment ... hope it helps,
