There's also a great sequence in an Emery Gulash DVD of two GP9s on a UP wayfreight in Nebraska, so if anyone comes out with a good GP9B or Omaha GP20 that will mate with an Athearn (or any other) turbine, these will have a good use as a pair by themselves.
In my book, a GP9 looks better in pair. ;-) Anyway, I don't know of any model that doesn't have flaws. In my own opinion, this kind of "issues" are rather insignifiant when you think about British OO and Japanese HO (1/80) discrepancies.
