tinman,
I think you should definitely spring extra $25 for the xtra model. The ability to access all 28 possible locomotive functions is worth the price of the admission alone. Locomotive scroll feature is also a plus when running a couple of locomotives. I - on the hand most likely will just by the D402 remote control since I've had my Zephyr for a while. And the price is the same - so might as well have an extra throttle. I bet the resale value of the old Zephyr will drop like a rock now.

That's what I'm going for. I took back the DBS50 and got a store credit towards the new unit. As soon as it gets in I'm supposed to get a call. Heck, for the extra $25 I think it's worth it in my case. That gives me a bit more time to get an engine converted over to DCC, but I still need to decide which one first.
So,...anyone get one yet?
How's it working out?
Any good/bad news?
