Significantly more expensive and the sleepers are too small to allow you to bring your luggage in with you.

Definitely. There is no way I would have wanted to go home that way.

Amtrak does not have smokers any more. Not much in the way of Internet either. They do not provide wifi and even if you have your own wireless, you travel in a lot of places that have no signal.
