What is it you'd like to know more about? A certain manufacturer? Configuration?
Are you asking about installation details? Longevity?
Who is your supplier, and what's their beef?

Atrium doors
Are they any good?
I use Cape cod lumber from Ma. and they wont even order replacement parts never mind the doors themselves. What do you know about Atrium?

If you're speaking of Atrium, the manufacturer, I have no direct experience with them. I've used Marvin, Andersen, Loewen, Pella, Therma-Tru, and probably a few others I can't remember.
For historic work, I typically order slabs from Simpson or Lemieux and have the yard hang them in an exterior jamb, with throw bolts on the semi-functional side and a T-astragal for weather stripping the center.
