Spend whatever you want to spend. You guys are acting as if "you get what you pay for " was a new concept. Why would you recommend to someone who wants to advance in the hobby , the bottom of the barrell , in an area that has to excell ? If it suits your needs, fine. Why recommend a system with an 1 amp power supply ,and one that can't take advatage of BLI's and others sound system. If you can buy the lowest priced one , and it does what you need it to ; more power to you. Just don't try to convince people who are thinking of moving into dcc, that Bachmann's $53 dcc system would be a wise investment. If that's all you can spend, then that's what you can get. A $53 system .It's not about "being a real MR" , it's about getting what you pay for. Just like a $7 or $8 blue box or other kits ; when all is said and done , you spent $4 more , on metal wheels and couplers ,and shims . to get it to run right. Then add time and gas. Imagine -$2 or $3 more in the beginning ,and you you have an Atlas rtr car. Detailed to the max to boot ! Sooner or later you pay for quality. Quantity is easy. It's quality that always comes back to bite you eventually ! I don't expect much when I spend on the cheap. Like everyone else , I expect more and better ,when I spend accordingly.
