Do they both offer the sounds for that loco?

If so either one will be a great choice.  If only one offers the correct sounds then the answer is obvious.

Go to the respective sites and check their decoders. There should be sound samples.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.

I was only able to listen to a sample of the Tsunami sounded real good.

I find that strange as I found the sound file and a couple videos of the Athearn turbine with QSI sound.

After listening to the samples I think they both sound great! I guess now I just need to compare costs, Thanks for the help.
