Actually, with proper engineering, busway can be very competitive with
alternate methods of electrical distribution.

Realize that for most on this list it is a non issue, but one of the
biggest advantages of busway is reduced installation labor costs.

Using a center feed terminal box, it is possible to house 4 separate
circuits in one busway run.

Just some food for thought.
