Nobody has any experience with these(at least nobody outside of Digitrax) because they have not actually been released yet.

I'd have to admit, Tsunamis do set the bar pretty high.

It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.

I noticed an ad for these in the latest MR.  This is a full decoder - motor, sound and 6 functions.  It includes a capacitor and speaker, and the MSRP is $49.95.  Back EMF and transponding, too, and no, it's not the April issue.

As most sound decoders are getting more and more expensive, this seems like a refreshing change.  But, does anyone have experience with these?  The older SFX0416, which is sound-only, has very low maximum output volume, for example.

I don't even see these on the Digitrax site, although Tony's Trains lists them.
