My last two have just been terrible! I've even tried some of them tips like soldering while the rail straight, then forming the curve and caulking it down to let it drive overnight.
My reason for going to unitrack is the reliability and because it's more resuable than flex. If I screw up, I can just pull it up without blowing what feels like hundreds of dollars on flextrack....
You have a very significant point there! Sectional track is also especially useful when you are trying to work out a layout problem and get that essential "feel" for whether the whole idea is going to work or not. And, it's vry useful in hidden staging areas - pretty much problem free.
