Review: Kato Class 800 LNER Azuma for N Gauge and comparison with Hornby 00 Gauge Class 800 Azuma

With the debate still raging over TT:120 and whether it was the optimal scale or not, I want to get some first hand experience of both N gauge and TT:120 itself. With my T:T:120 pre-order not going to land until the new year, I'm going to start the process with a review of Kato's N Gauge Class 800 Azuma offering and compare it to the same model from Hornby in 00 gauge that I reviewed earlier this year. As a 00 gauge modeler, how will I find my first N gauge experience?
