I have a Kato SD90MAC and 3 SD70MACs. I am looking at them sitting next to a P2K, an atlas, and an Athearn Genesis and a BLI. All of these models are modern diesels. I really dont see oversized handrails and blobs that you are talking about, plus the Katos run great. Atlas and Kato mechanically are very close. Its hard to tell which is better. The P2Ks are right behind, the Bli just behind the P2K and the Genesis lag way back in running quality. The genesis have about the same detail as the Katos, although the Katos have more frame detail. The P2K, Atlas and BLI do have good detail, but not quite as good as genesis or Kato. So, if you arent looking for factory installed sound. Kato ranks the best in my book.
