Ditto to what Russ said. 
Less track means operating sooner, and, if you like, time to spend upgrading/detailing/weathering track to a higher degree.
Plus, I like the yard arrangement in the East side better on the second plan.
Eliminating the passing track out of the sector staging creates a bottleneck (good, IMO) but you may want to consider adding it in if leaving a passenger train at the station while a goods train passes by is an operating aspect you desire.

I may not be a rivet counter, but I sure do like rivets!
