OK, since this is becoming a very popular thread, I thought I might as well give my 2 cents worth!I do think it's like Apple and PC in a sense.  One is for 'serious' business use and with the 'bulletproof' and 'It Ain't Broken, don't fix it' philosophy and one with all the latest improvement and aim to have the 'fun' element in their design philosophy.  Needless to say, Digitrax is the PC of the two.IMHO, Digitrax is a bulletproof system and it's somewhat ancient with regars to the latest NMRA standards but it's popular with clubs because of it's expansion potential and since it's popular with clubs, it gets trickle down to individual members and the people they influence.  Where as NCE is the more advanced of the 2 in terms of the latest trend and standards and I would say it's more fun to use and somewhat easier as well and I think it's better for lonewolves and beginners/intermediates.They both great companies with excellent products either a DCC system or decoders but I seriously find the Digitrax's system way too complicated even for an electrical engineer.  I think for the majority of the emerging market and the current trend, I think the dark horse is MRC and I think they their money on the right number!  With DCC getting more popular, their system is cheap, complete and simple and with the technology advancements, people aren't replying on Club's advice as much as what it used to be so people will slowly discover the new world with MRC or the new Bachmann Nemesis (spelling?)!
