Bentnose, As a United Church ex-associate chaplain at the University of British Columbia hospital I can tell you an old saying floating around when "combining denominations" was popular; for example, the United Church of Christ in the states and UCC. What happens when you combine two denominations? You get three, two old and one new...lol! So in Canada, we don't have the Methodists anymore but still the Presbyterians and Congregationalists. ("I'm "United Church of Canada", a cross between Methodist and Presbyterian"). Congregationalist's were part of the "United Church of Canada formula as well). Right now, for the next while at least, the Zephyr is still the best entry level system out there. That doesn't mean that you can't run your layout with other systems - it just means the Zephyr is more feature laden than the others. Some of the features you may not even be interested in right now, but surprise yourself latter on. For example, I got the Chief about 4 years ago. My son was demo'ing Digitrax in the Vancouver, BC area so we got the proverbial "deal" on it. I didn't think I would be interested in some of the features on it... ever. But as I developed my interests in the hobby, features that were "blah" to me became interesting, for example power routing. Why? Well, I have become interested in computer running some of my layout (to add operators when I am alone, or to add operators when only one other person has show up). However, should you get Lenz or other brands, they will do a good job of running your layout as well.
