Won't work really well if you need to run equipment on 0-72, 0-54, etc.
The terms "big curves" and "tight curves" are relative. He wasn't suggesting any specific curve diameter.
Edmund, I agree with your suggestion. I did this on my layout. The two corners furthest away from the viewing area have 072 and 088 for my double main. In addition, the overhang here is towards the corners so less visible from the edge of the layout. The curves closer to the viewing edge of the layout are 088/096 or larger.
