Aristocraft vs LGB tracks

How do Aristocraft tracks compare to LGB tracks? I am looking for tracks to extend my layout and someone offered me Aristocraft tracks, but 'warned' me they do look different compared to LGB. The sleepers seem to be smaller and black colored. But he doesn't have all track I need, so I want to make sure how they mix, Aristocraft and LGB?

I might as well pass the offer and continue searching two R3 switches (left & right) and some flex track...
 
Aristo track is more of a yellowish brass compared to LGB, sleepers are black as opposed to brown, and come in narrow and std gauge versions. Curved track sleepers can have a bit of an odd gap at the joints, but they do fit LGB.

Edit...

If you do get some Aristo, check under the sleepers for red wax, as that is where they put the extra fishplate screws. They may still be there even with second hand track.
