I'll always favor an altimeter setting ATC gives me over anything I hear on the ATIS. The ATIS could be up to an hour old; the controller is looking at the most current reading right now. And you do not think the controller is getting his information as reported by that station's ATIS / AWOS/ ETC? Ross
