Well, the resistors in the one lead of the programming track feed line will have no effect on any other decoder. It is just with the BLI equipment. When they are programmed with all of the bells and whistles so to speak, they have a tremendous amount of surge current. The resistors slows this down to make it manageable. The 100 controller has a lot more functions than the 90. I use the 100 to program my engines, and to run any that are not in the memory of my 90 controller. Your cheapest way to go is to purchase the 100 set and then the 90 controller separately. There is also a unit that will adapt a wireless telephone to be used as a walkaround throttle. Whatever you decide on, I would just get a system that you can expand into, instead of one that you will outgrow. Why spend the money twice, start with something nice!!
