Well, i won't really agree. The Awesome with only two type of weapons (3x PPC, 1x SLAS) is an easily playable mech, i think an Atlas is far more harder to handle (LRM20, SRM6, AC/20 and 4x MedLas), if you won't familiar the weapon grouping.
As noted above. The Awesome has a 90m dead zone (minus the SL) in which it cannot fight. A quick Medium or Light that gets inside will be big trouble to any Pilot, especially a newer Pilot... The Atlas has no such void.
