Has enyone tried these decoder from Uhlenbrock? In my opinion Lokpilot from esu has the best motor control but i have not try Uhlenbrock decoder yet.
I don't think anyone in the U.S. sells that brand of decoder, so you'll probably have to wait until someone from Germany reads your question.
I had never even heard of that brand until you asked about it.

Here ya go
A couple of places in the US sell Uhlenbrock: http://www.rjftrains.com/intellibox/uhlenbrock.htm
Not very many, it's just not a well-known brand here. As I noted in another thread, most of the German-made decoders have higher quality back-emf control than others - Lokpilot/Loksound, CT Elektronik, Zimo. Motor control in these is all excellent. At a price - with the weak US dollar these decoders are much more expensive than other brands. Is it worth it? Depends on your equipment and what you're willing to live with. I remember when the NMRA convention was in Philly, ESU (i think) had a display set up with a large scale loco on a loop of track set on a 45 degree angle. The loco maintained the same speed up and down - a testament to the bemf control, although not really realistic.
