I agree with Tim. I think flex track can be useful for working out some
interesting track geometry but beyond that I don't have any use for it. I
think the idea of flex track was great and to be honest the LEGO actually
came up with a pretty clever way to do it. But the aesthetics of it and the
marginal running qualities are just to much for me to want to use it.

Same here:
I do not use plastic track on my combined layout (PF running on 9V track) but
even when I did I might not use it, since I stay basically with studs in line
with my track.

In fact the greatest benefit I see is for kids: in general they do not put down
the track in right angles and without creating offsets. Placing a flex track
here and there gives huge freedom.

However - a straight 9V quarter-track would have been better for me.....

Leg Godt!
