Thank you all for the advice. I did indeed ride 48 in one of the VIIs.
I cannot see a world in which I would've preferred a toilet in my room instead of just the sink. I think I'd be pretty uncomfortable sleeping next to that. Getting up and going to the bathroom was fine.
The car tracked ok. Not great, but definitely better than the VIs. I imagine at least part of this has to do with how poor the track geometry is on NS. I would love to take the Silver Star and see how a VII tracks on the NEC. The interior will probably hold up far better than the VIs, which look ancient already.
The diner was superb. These cars should be on every LD train. Absolutely gorgeous.
