See edits to 半面. Now, as I see it, we can add その半面 here, or we can make a new entry, and gloss it as 

[1][exp]
  on the other hand; at the same time

A separate entry is arguably more precise. Don't know if it's worth it.

I don't think we usually need to display the kanji for その everywhere it appears, so I [sK]'d that.
