And pound for pound S looks great next to Z, so what's your point? Folks quit O because they run out of room. Folks quit HO because they want something larger, smaller, or a new challenge. There's not a model railroader on the planet that bases his choice of scale on price per pound, or generally price at all. I was in O for quite a long time. It was lack of availability of what I wanted (1890s) and SIZE that made me leave. If modelers need to sojourn in O for awhile before finding S, so be it. We need more stuff, not cheap stuff.
