There are 'deals' out there on Atlas if you decide to use it. From time to time someone takes down a layout and you can pick up a lot of it at once at great prices. As mentioned, the later turnouts are pretty trouble free and Ross switches blend in easily for any sizes that Atlas doesn't offer. Personally, Atlas seems more quiet and 'solid' although the rail itself is still too tall and bulky to look prototypical, the ties really stand out for their scale size. I had a Scaletrax layout that I really enjoyed as the track appeared most prototypical for the most part due to the lower profile rail, thin center blade, and the flex was a joy to work with. It hasn't been produced in several years now and it's future is uncertain at this writing so Atlas would be my choice.
