I was tempted to go all automation when designing my current layout but I chickened out. Kudos to you for sticking with it.
I think automation is a good solution to the 'round-roundy' v 'realistic' debate. You can have trains exiting off via a hidden staging yard then reappearing to complete another part of the roundy-roundy journey at a later time. Kind of like a game of baseball with trains stopping at bases. It means a hands free experience whilst hiding the round-roundy aspect.
