Funnily enough, I hadn't noticed that before.
I'm pleased that you may have found an alternative remedy to your permanent way dilemma. Although deep down there's always that slight disappointment of not having gone with your first choice, ultimately, I believe it all boils down to the finish and attention to detail. For instance, I've seen some remarkable results with plain ordinary Peco track - Widnes Vine Yard and Chris Gilbert's Haston fall immediately to mind. Incidentally, I followed your advice and dropped in on Lance's blog site; I notice that he's replaced his Atlas Code 83 with Code 70, however, I really don't see the need as the 83 was fabulous and as for that 'Canal View' scene, well, the guy's simply a genius. I think that rather proves my point?
I'm sure you'll make a darned good job of whichever option you choose.
Jon.
