Better sound is usually defined by the quality of the output of the speakers, it doesn't mean loud, but crisp and clear with a little bit of bass. I have a $3000 audio system in my car, so I know what quality sound sounds like.
I was at my LHS today and checked out the Athearns. They actually look very good, and the detail on them is excellent. There are some details on the Athearn that MTH doesn't have, like the trucks.
I had them give me a look at the Athearn's sound on a test track. It sounded, well just OK. I can tell the difference in the quality of sound with the MTH. MTH has a lot more bass.
In my opinion, the accuracy of the sound files in relation to the prototype is just not as important as the quality of the sound.
