Has anyone tried using flextrack with Kato turnouts. I am in N, but I believe the answer is good for all scales. I love the Kato turnouts but I don't want the number of connections with sectional track.
Or would I be better off to use all Kato track and use alot of feeders?

Kato offers a small adapter track section to convert to flex track. I used to have one and, for the life of me, can't remember how long it is.
You'd probably need to use the Unitrack to transition each end of the turnout, then add the adapter, and continue with flex track.
Reality...an interesting concept with no successful applications, that should always be accompanied by a "Do not try this at home" warning.
Hundreds of years from now, it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove...But the world may be different because I did something so bafflingly crazy that my ruins become a tourist attraction.
"Oooh...ahhhh...that's how this all starts...but then there's running...and screaming..."
I will probably go with all unitrack. We looked at a house earlier today that my wife really likes. The layout will have to be u-shaped, 5ft x 10ft x 4.5ft, maybe with penisulas.
A WISE decision.
THE ADVANTAGE of 'Unitrack' over other brands is their avoidance of passing current through the friction fit Rail Joiners.
Rail Joiners provide 'iffy' contacts with age. Substituting other brands of 'plug together' sectional track in my opinion would be unwise. All this to save a buck?
Most recommendations for flextrack include adding a buss wire and feeders to each piece for reliability. Unitrack has those built in.
