Josh,
Right off the bat, you said that this layout would be flat and at eye level. I'm thinking some of the things in the back might be hard to see or get lost by what's in front. What if you raised the back portion of the layout by just 1" (at a 2% grade, that would take 4' on each end)? It seems you could do this easily by starting and ending your inclines around the curves at each end of the layout and it should really help your depth of field.
Wha'do ya think?
You might even have enough of a run there to keep it at 1% or go with 2% and raise it 2".
