I'm looking to make a conversion to DCC. The two systems that I can't decide between are Digitrax Zephyr and CVP's EasyDCC. Ever since I first saw the EasyDCC articles in MR, I liked the system. I liked its upgradability (new software) and expandibility. Currently I have a very small 4x6 layout, but it has a lot of track and switches with sidings and a 3 track yard (one word: Curved Turnouts). I like the Zephyr because it lets you use standard DC power packs. But cost is another issue. I eventually plan to build a larger layout and incorporate the wireless throttles. Adding the wireless onto the Digitrax system costs more and you can't select locos without being plugged in, unlike the CVP system that allows you to select locos anytime and costs less. But this larger layout of mine might not be built for a few years and with the rapidly advancing technology, I like the fact that the CVP system can get upgraded software. As for the initial investment the Zephyr will cost less, but I can afford to invest in the $230 for the EasyDCC system. Now for my question, is there anyone who has used both or either of these systems and can steer me toward one of them?
