Antonio, Oddly enough I also agree with most of what Simon and others are saying.....I think Soundtraxx may be in a deep hole here, but I prefer to be more optimistic....... I think as Joe F. points out by not selling the top of line anymore they have limited options for everyone who wants a Soundtraxx decoder. There is the LC option or DSX (which means two decoders). Hanging over the top of this there is the tantalizing promise of something much better just around the corner..... I don't think that it will hurt them as badly as everyone says, but you have to admit that QSI has taken quite a chunk out of the market. But they have done that by being the only game in town and by keeping prices pretty low. Besides I'm not sure that all those people who bought BLI won't also buy Tsunami when it comes out. If Soundtraxx can get some loco manufacturer tie-ins like P2ki/BLI/QSI they may do just fine..... If the decoder is as good as early reports make it out to be then it will be up to QSI and whoever else enters the market to better the Tsunami. That type of competition would be good for all of us modelers. The QSI decoder is the one I was suggesting approaches the complexity of the Tsunami...It had BEMF (before MTH days) and does have lots of function modes, runs quite well on DC as well as DCC, has basic command functions in DC mode and will even talk to you during programming in DC mode!!! Of course it is not available as a stand alone item, but I think it is the main competition for the Tsunami.... Soundtraxx have also started another company which is bringing in some RTR narrow guage Tsunami Equipped locos some time this year??? They may be spread quite thin at this point....
