Use alias this if you want implicit conversions too.
Proxy keeps the types separate

void foo(Base b) { }

struct Modified {
   Base b;
   alias b this;
}

foo(Modified()); //works


That wouldn't work if it was proxied though, which you 
sometimes want to force everything to go through your 
modification.

So the only difference is that proxy doesn't have implicit 
conversions? Hm. Might be worth pointing out on the docs.
