Hmmmm.... I'm sort of torn on this issue. On one hand, I think MTH + SHS = a better product right off the bat than what Lionel has done up to his point. Also, IF MTH makes the same stuff in S that they have made in HO over the last few years, I think Lionel will have a hard time keeping up. That being said, there is alot of market support for Lionel. I would have to say that I hope the presence of MTH in S instills the effect of competition and products across the board progressively get better. That would be a win-win for S scale.
