Steel and Talos are both hub zones.
Both are important to your "career" as a hero.
With Steel being mostly landlocked and Talos being an island this could be interesting.
Steel vs Talos
Go!
Steel.
Although I loved Talos, too... Especially during Rikti Invasions. But, Steel was just more important places concentrated in a smaller zone.
To me Steel was for lower levels, but after level 20 or so Talos made a great base of operations.
Of course that is from the mindset before they merged the green and yeollow train lines.
After the merge, zones with both stations had an advantage, a quick way to get across town.
But I liked the layout of Talos.
I liked Talos but I'd have to go for Steel for this option.
So, Talos wins! Yay!
