Will rightly points out that Atlas' price point on their model is precipitously close to the GGD price point; indeed, the only reason I would even consider the Atlas model, really, is for PS3 compatibility out of the box.
But those fantasy schemes are intriguing to me, and if I'm not mistaken that Phase V scheme is actually very, very close to the Acela Regional scheme that Amtrak very briefly ran in the early 2000's. I may actually get a set of those Amfleets for the GGD Genesis to pull.

The offering in Phase V is quite interesting! I always thought the splotch scheme was neat. I bought a run of the Nicholas Smith MTH ones maybe a year or two back. They're quite colorful.
The PS3 inside the Atlas units are a big draw, and I wish that was an option with the ones from GGD which will most certainly be nicer in every way.
I might be doing the opposite of you. I have a collection of the MTH P42s and I cannot wait to put in a reservation for the GGD Superliner Is once more things come to light (mainly if Superliner IIs will follow soon after)
