I have a Digitrax Zephyr, and have been completely satisfied running it so far - below are my specs which may help compare to your situation and your decision making process: I run up to 4 trains at a time, but most of the time only 2 2 of the locos I run at the same time have sound Layout is 8'x8' I do not use any reverse loops or block occupancy, nor have I added turnout controls to my dcc setup I have installed decoders into 10 loco's, and all have worked properly with my zephyr system. I chose the Zephy after having a "bad" experience with the MRC Prodigy Advance system - I say "bad", because I think the problems were all a result of "user error", and not really a problem with the MRC unit itself. I really likes the MRC's handheld unit - I don't particularly care for the Digitrax handhelds. But I do like the expandability that Digitrax offers. In the winter, I am planning on adding a 20'x10'x4' around the wall layout with a large penninula type switching yard in addition, and I have no worries that my digitrax system will expand to accomodate my needs. As far as user experience with DCC, I was completely green when I got the MRC (another reason why I probably had problems with it), but found the learning curve to be very short, if you just want to install decoders and run the locos with their default settings. I have not yet experimented with CV programming, but plan to down the road a bit.
