Pullman Standard Dome models

I dont have Con-Cor's latest release of a Dome Lounge to compare to the Kato (santa fe 500 series).
Can someone give a comparison... ie, is the Con-Cor dome a good model, or just a stand in until acquiring a Kato dome?

An announcement from Kato to re-run theirs boxed separate (in Amtrak Ph I), would be cool....

 :|       I have both. The Con Cor Santa Fe Pleasure Dome Car is nicely done it closely matches the KATO car, has a nice interior, the roof top radio antenna like those on Con Cor's Budd diner and dome observation car tend to have the paint flake off, but the end doors on the cars do have window inserts which KATO does not install on their cars. The Con Cor car in UP Paint looks enough like the former "Train of Tomorrow" observation car "Moon Glow" that UP purchased and later squared the rear end on that it is a good stand in.
