Brendan, I don´t think the folks in here are biased when it comes to MTH´s DCS. It´s a simple, economic reason. DCS is limited to locos made by MTH, which excludes the user from all those bargains you can enjoy when you go down the DCC route. While DCS locos can be operated with a DCC controller, a DCS controller cannot operate a DCC loco - it´s as simple as that. DCS is purely proprietary, which, in itself, is not bad at all, when you don´t plan on having any  number of locos of "foreign" make on your layout. It´s the same in my country with Marklin´s 3-rail AC system and their digital control system. Purely proprietary, but, as Marklin is by far the market leader, not as limiting as it is the case with MTH. Most mainstream manufacturers offer locos compatible to Marklin.
