I started with Lenz 100. Why? Because their XpressNet is a universal protocol network and is supported by more manufacturers than any other. <br /> <br />I use both the 90 and 100 throttles and have just added the CVP wireless throttle. <br />You have far more choices of throttles than any other single brand. Even the Atlas throttles are compatible although I do not own any. <br /> <br />But strangely, I prefer the Lenz 100 throttle for ease of use. With practice, it becomes second nature to use it with one hand without even without looking at the throttle. Much like using a typewiter or computer keyboard. <br /> <br />Any brand that supports XpressNet is compatible. <br /> <br />I also use the Lenz USB computer interface for all of my decoder programming. <br /> <br />I use Lenz decoders for all my lcomotives because of their no questions asked warranty. I have not blown a decoder (as yet) due to my own fault or otherwise. <br />But it is nice knowing that when it does happen Lenz will replace it... free! <br /> <br />I have no doubt that all manufacturers produce good working DCC systems. <br />But having 42 years of computer, Ham Radio and R/C Flying experience, I feel qualified to rate Lenz as a superior product. <br /> <br />If one always follows the crowd and buys a brand because of number of units, it will always be so for that brand. But this NEVER proves that brand as superior. <br /> <br />Think about automobiles 25 years ago. If we all continued to buy the leading brand because of sales figures, do you think for one minute our present autos would be much better today than they were then? <br /> <br />Opps... just fell off my soap box!
