May be a "soft" transition to DCC as I did it might be useful.
I went to my LHS and got for a weekend a DCC controller and three DCC equipped engines for free to test it and make up my mind. I did only detach the DC supply, remove all DC engines and attached the DCC controller, put the DCC engines on the track and switches all DC track switches to ON position to have DCC on all tracks.
That's it. I did play a full weekend and made up my mind.
I do recommend that simple "test" very much.
ps. If you have a good DC wiring you have a good chance it will work for DCC too. You should not worry about that aspect with highest priority.
