Perhaps you should talk to some sound engineers and see what they say. I'll say that the Vision Line Big Boy has sound equal or better than any other O-scale locomotive I've heard, and I've heard quite a few. Oddly enough, the Lionel sound engineers seemed to think they needed a sealed baffle to get the best sound in both the tender and the locomotive.
Given the quality of the sound produced, I'll stick with the proper baffle, even in a diecast tender.
