Yes, some regard the LHT as the functional equivalent to the Atlantis, insofar they can both be ridden across country with a full touring load. I ride a 58cm 700c Atlantis, and if I wanted to acquire it's functional equivalent for a lot less money, I would definitely consider an LHT.
Bike A: 80mm drop. 72/72 angles. 58.5cm TT. 45mm rake. 61cm FC. 47cm CS. 60cm stack 39cm reach Bike B: 78mm drop. 72/72.5 angles. 58.6cm TT. 45mm rake. 46cm CS. 60.6cm* stack 39.4cm reach Bike A is a 58cm Atlantis and Bike B is a 58cm 700c LHT. I'd consider that close enough to enjoy an epic cycling experience. If I'm buying a bike to savor the bike itself then maybe I'd be bored and not-in-love with an LHT, but if I'm buying a bike as a tool to enable a memorable cycling experience, then I have no doubts I could have that experience on an LHT if I needed to save a couple thousand dollars.
