What you said is all true, except the part about no one going from NCE to Digitrax, as I know some people that did just that. NCE is easier to use, but the Digitrax's LocoNet is much more powerful, reliable, and expandable, due to a true two-way Multiple Access network, which none of the other systems have. In my opinion Digitrax is a much better choice for large layouts due to the ease in adding additional boosters. Also, your "irrefutable" fact: [quote]QUOTE: - Digitrax is not NMRA compliant because they modified their system to allow a non-decoder equipped locomotive to run on address 00 which is spec'd out to be a broadcast address.[/quote] is refutable because there is no address 00 brodcast over the rails, only inside loconet, which does not violate NMRA guidelines. The address 00 on your remote only communicates to the command station, which then raises power on the rails but does not send a DCC command (causing an analog train to move), leaving 00 open for brodcast on the rails.
