Chris,

Please refer to my posts below on 3-15. I am very happy with the MRC sound decoder that has an on board speaker.

I have used a couple of the NCE ATLS4 decoders and these have proven to be relatively easy to install. (You must use the replacement Nylon motor retaining screw or you will blow the decoder) and have proven to be reliable in my hands.  I know that there have been some complaints about the decoders blowing due to shorts, but this has not happened to me.  It is certainly not a plug and play installation, but it is not too hard either.
