Helix vs. hidden ramp

Pros and cons of design concepts do abound in this hobby and to each his/her own. Having tried both the helix and nolix, I prefer the concentrated grade of a helix with level trackwork on the layout portion. For me, it avoided turnouts on grades, made switching and staging rolling stock easier at passing sidings or industries along the incline/main, and level trackwork with undulating benchwork and scenery seems more aestetically appealing, at least to my eye. Good luck with whatever you chose.
