The locomotive you linked is likely DCC ready.  The second locomotive you linked has DCC and sound in it.  Athearn does not make a "non-DCC ready locomotive".  Edit: That having been said, I actually have no experiance with the roundhouse line.  My experience with Genesis locomotives is that there was plenty of room inside for decoders.  A third option is you find a hobby shop that carries new old stock from previous runs and check for the locomotives you want.  You will likely get a pair of genesis locomotives DCC ready for half the price of the ABA set with DCC/Sound.  Fourth option:  Check online retailers for in stock items.  Fifth:  Go to train shows (Amherst show in January, York, Pa show October 20 - 22, 2016).  There are more.
