I think ATOM is more likely to convert (if it converts anyone) from other water based acrylics like Vallejo or the old Mig acrylics. SO far, I have been hearing that people like me who use the other acrylics, these are an improvement. But compared to the paints you mentioned, or lacquers like MRP they are not a good replacement. I prefer ATOM, but I have never used lacquers
