the only think Kato has going for them is their drive. and the new Atlas and Genesis drives are almost as good, if not the same. Kato sucks at painting. just look at the SD70MAC's. the numbers are crooked on the BNSF units and the paint seperation lines are just awful. in my opinion, Athearn Genesis has the best painting in the industry. also, the grabs on the Kato 70mac's are too small. Genesis has the best paint, and detail. and unlike other manufacturers, they are now adding railroad specific details like the correct horn and antenna and other details. so yes, if i end up getti ng some SD70MAC's i will definately get the genesis units. (and yes, i do own tons of Kato units, but almost all of them i painted and detailed myself)
