You yourself are your own best argument against buying the Prodigy. I don't pretend to know a lot about the Prodigy, but I do know I've seen criticisms levelled against it that would make me not buy it. You yourself have said you kind of nibble your way into knowledge and skill until you become reasonably sophisticated at it. If this is the case, then you want a system that will allow you to nibble as far as you want to nibble, yet stop when you want to, and even further, be somewhat simplistic to start with. The Digi Zephyr is all those things; you can nibble as far as you want to, then stop. Its design is made to mimic a traditional power pack so that you feel relaxed with it. I have the Chief but if I were starting out now, I would start with the Zephyr. In fact, you can buy the throttle for the Chief with your Zephyr and you will have a pretty sophisticated system. I had a smaller layout like you have and DCC makes more sense with a smaller layout. I don't have to tell you how many times you are throwing blocks to run multiple trains, but lots. Imagine not having to throw a block ever again. And with the Zephyr, if you ever move and inherit a large space for that "dream" layout, the Zephyr will grow with you. Forget the Prodigy.
