Well, the comment about smoothness is entirely subjective. I've ridden both very smooth and very "lumpy" rubber tired metros - in general, I am far more a fan of rubber tired systems (AGT, etc.) than I am steel-on-steel. It's just always quieter. No matter how hard you try, steel-on-steel systems always have flange noise/squeal in curves occasionally.
I don't see the elevation a drawback at all in Seattle, personally. The hotel we stayed at my husband specifically booked because the window of our room was directly adjacent the beamway.
It was wonderful.
