I realize lighting makes a difference and I have never seen the MTH plated cars in person, but just comparing the pics below says a lot for me. The MTH may be more visually pleasing, but doesn't look more prototypical IMO. And the K-Line plated cars, which I have seen in person, are even farther off.

I think that the plating on MTH passenger cars looks best on ribbed cars vs. smoothsides. Another paint finish that I like is on my first issued MTH Railking Amtrak GG1. It has a sort of metalic look almost resembling powdercoating.
I hope to post more plated MTH pics tomorrow sometime. I also have a set of plated MARC Amfleet cars (yes I know this doesnt exist but I like them anyway)
