2 more. Lips are different in the front bottom part being the Atom is more of and oval and the Bluestreak is a full radius, rounder. Atom lip is slightly thinner in width. The length of the face is about the same and the lip is mounted in similar position on the plug, in the middle. Line tie is pretty low on the plug.
I have a mahogany Bluestreak that is a full 1 oz. heavier than another one I have which is maybe Pine. Neither of them have belly wgts and both have tail wgts.

Also notice how far forward the front hook is on the Bluestreak compared to Atom. The rear hooks are the same distance on both. Some like to make the bluestreak just for that reason, figuring on hook tangle. I am not too sure it is a major problem
