I know this Digitrax thing gets a little emotional sometimes, but it is because once you are on the system, you start to see the difference. I have also tried the other systems out there, and sure, I too have some issues with ALL of them. But my local support surrounds Digitrax, and we here have had great success and excellent expansion thanks to Digitrax hardware. The LocoNet add on capabilities alone, not to mention the various prototype driven modules, etc.. have all added to our positive experience. So sometimes it becomes personal with some people. No one wants to have made the wrong decision, or more importantly, most people want to have made a better decision. But to each his own. In short, DCC is growing... period... There are cheap systems that have to cut something out in order to be cheaper (fact of life.) There are more expensive systems, but they may have more up front research and development, or more built in options, etc... Personally, I would like to see controllers that allowed you to switch through multple cabs, or have 4 "throttles" on the same handheld. But I always say, if your going to get into the technical side of modeling, find what you can get support for in your area. It doesn't matter if it's DCC, or if it's high end layout building in general. IF no one in your area supports Digitrax, but someone does have a great working understanding and resource for Lenz, then your decision should lean that way. But for everyone's sake, let's all acknowledge that there will be emotional attachments, and not SLAM any other system with inflammatory statements that may completely mislead a newcomer. Just state your reasoning, perhaps it is really subjective and they need to consider all of their options. (It would be terrible to think that they live NEXT to a Digitrax enabled Club that they find the day after their Atlas DCC stuff arrives, or vise versa.
