Thanks to both of you for the comments.
Reinhard, I agree that the lower wall would be more pleasing for many reasons, just from a "human comfort" train of thought.
Now it seems that the top of the wall should be below eye level, but how do I reconcile that with my desire for a high layout height? The backdrop isn't going to be very tall.
JGL, I agree that I need to do some "mocking up" of the situation to help me make a decision. As for photos, if I made a list of "wants and druthers," that would be some ways down the list. I am planning the layout to be more of an "operational" layout than a "great scenery" layout. On that note, I am putting the "overall feel" of the layout room ahead of scenery and photos.
I wonder what the room would feel like if the center wall wasn't full height, yet was too tall to see over. Thoughts?
