I am a Lenz user. I have the Lenz 100 system, and purchased an additional throttle, which is the Lenz 90. Here is my take on the two of them. Both are high quality and very easy to use and program. If you are interested in Broadway Limited engines, you may have heard that they may be tempermental for programming due to the load they place on the DCC system. With most DCC systems, the solution for BLI engines is to purchase a $40 booster unit. The solution with the Lenz system is about 49 cents. With the Lenz system all you need is a 20 ohm resistor in one of the legs of the feed wire to the program track. As far as using the Lenz system, they are both straightforward. I initially purchased the 100 system, and found for switching duties the pushbutton controller was ok, but I thought I would be happier with the 90 series knob type controller. I was right. The 90 series throttle is VERY easy to use. It has a memory that stores 8 locomotive addresses that you are able to rotate through. The 100 throttle stores a lot of them, but will allow a quick swap between 2 engines. The readout displays on both the 90 and 100 systems are large and easy to read. As far as quality of the equipment... I am very impressed. Top quality. No BS. I have had one call to customer support that was superb. I had called about a programming issue with BLI engines, and they told me exactly what to do. Afterwards, the system programmed the BLI engines on the first try. I have no complaints, and if I were to purchase again. It would be another Lenz system.
