I have used both. I use the NCE at the model railroad club, and I own a Lenz 100 set. The NCE and Lenz kits are both very nice. Personally, I find the Lenz set to be more user friendly. The only drawback I would say with the Lenz 100 system is you may want to purchase an additional throttle controller and I would recommend the 90 series. The 90 series has a big knob to control the speed and a 3 way toggle switch for forward, neutral, and reverse. IF you are someone who enjoys a switching operation, you will find this a great choice. I would recommend BOTH throttles with the Lenz system. With NCE there is a thumbwheel on the controller which kind of gives you everything in one. I find that I prefer the Lenz over the NCE, and I am glad I have been able to use both to make my choice. I find the Lenz a more straightforward system with fewer buttons, but all the same features. I also like the larger display on the Lenz systems. Also, I have found the Lenz systems on ebay at a better price. I purchased my Lenz 100 system new with warranty for $215. At that price it was easy to justify the additional 90 series controller and the walk around plug ins.
