I've been reading the Digitrax/NCE wars with interest. I recently toasted my old Digitrax chief (my fault, I was gone and someone else in the household changed my variable transformer from 15 volts to 26 volts. I also had a short, and with the two concurrent problems, I did not realize what was going on until it was too late[xx(]) I like Digitrax, but when something goes wrong, the manuals are very frustrating. I originally bought the chief so that I would have something that would remain top of the line for years to come, and it has. But, I have no need for all of the bells and whistles, and I am thinking of converting to something less complicated. In looking at all of the products, I seem to like the Lenz 90 the best.[}:)] My only concerns are the lack of a momentary fuction on the 90, and the lack of a radio throttle, although from what I have read elsewhere, the phone throttle is very cheap and increadibly easy to use. Problem is, no one around here has a Lenz system. <br /> Several people here have the simple Digitrax throttles- UR 91 or something like that- and I like them. However, all of my Soundtraxx decoders are 4 digit and switching to a two digit address would cause conflicts- I use the engine number for the address and several numbers end in 14, for example. <br /> I would like to hear from someone who uses the Lenz 90, especially if they are familiar with Digitrax also, before I shell out $300.00 for the thing. Thank You.
