n inline engine is easier to balance is is inherently smoother.
The old inline 8s and 12s were so smooth they idled at 450 rpm and you could barely feel any vibration at all as they spooled up.
Silky.

The only reason they went to v6s (which is a sucky design) and v8s was packaging.

Some of the smoothest, best engines ever were inline 6's (jaguar and BMW)
