I would go with plan 1, though I would strongly suggest having some sort of view block to at least hide the interchange track
I plan on using the buildings as a view block. If the Buildings are tall enough, They can handle this. I'm also trying to plan using an elevated roadway over the interchange track. It really won't be too steep and I can use the buildings along it to act as the view block. Sorry, I'm just not a fan of a board splitting the layout in half. I believe that buildings could do the same thing. Don Mitchell designed a 4x8 switching layout called the Union Terminal (or something like that) where he used double sided buildings. Art Curren also did a similar trick on his Carrolton and Chrissville Railroad.
