Hi Paul, I've been following MRC's PA for some time now and yes Chris is right; the "Squared" version replaces the original PA system. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure the only difference is the ability to use the wireless upgrade. (I believe MRC will update the orig PA system if you send it to them. Cost???) This is most probably why you're getting it at that price. (The PA-2 runs about $200 street price.)A couple of good threads to look at for comparisons and opinions: <a href="/forums/1394590/ShowPost.aspx">http://cs.trains.com/forums/1394590/ShowPost.aspx</a>And: <a href="http://siskiyou-railfan.net/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?3438.450">http://siskiyou-railfan.net/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?3438.450</a> Scroll about 3/4 down pg. 46, this is where the discussion picks up the PA again. (In recent times...)IMHO, If your layout is never going to be large enough to warrent wireless handhelds I'd say go for it. Even the Prodigy Express will run you like $140, and the orig Advance gives you much more.EDIT: I had to run out before and forgot something. The orig PA will probably come with a 2.5A pwr supply, the newer squared system comes with a 3.5A.
