I purchased the MRC Prodigy Advance because, for the price, it offered the most features (of those I was interested in). It runs about $180 to $190 by mail order, but includes everything needed to start with DCC (except decoders, locomotives and track). Other systems in the same price range are the Digitrax Zephyr (very highly recommended), Atlas (commander, I believe), and I believe Lenz markets a system in this price range, also. The Bachmann EZ DCC system is less expensive, but also has limited features. For entry into DCC Bachmann also offers thier DCC system with a DCC equipped locomotive which can be found for less than $100. As was stated above, the wiring for DCC is easier than for DC, and is pretty much the same regardless of the DCC system chosen.
