EZ Track Transition to Flex Track?

I have some legacy Bachmann EZ Track (33" radius curves) that I
will be using for a hidden helix on "Layout 2.0" (where I'm applying
everything I learned from all the mistakes I made on "Layout 1.0").

I want to use flex track on cork for the rest of the layout. Since
the rail tops of EZ Track are slightly higher than the rail tops of
flex track on cork, I'd really appreciate any and all ideas about how
to make a smooth transition between them, especially ideas you've
actually implemented or seen done or heard about being done.
I've searched the EZ Track catalog in vain looking for a transition
section like Kato makes for its Unitrack.

All suggestions will earn my everlasting thanks. Perhaps the "best"
suggestion - i.e., the one I choose to implement - will get
something more tangible...

Thank you!

P.S. I've been testing various kinds of track & have some "very
slightly used" Kato Unitrack I'd like to "de-inventory-ize".

depending on how much difference, you can put shims under the cork. If it's 1/8" or so, thin cardboard layers, stepping down a layer every 3 to 6 inches. Much less, you could do layers of making tape.
For a small change like this, you need to be gentle as possible so as not to uncouple cars.
