Good info!
If my current DCC system decides to go up the kerflooey, I think I'm going to make the dive. I ran into a hell of a deal a couple of years ago for a booster (Power Station 8) for my Prodigy Express. $25 new in opened box (retail was well over $300 I think) from a reputable shop.
As I alluded to from a post about a month ago, have the good ole computer keep track of switches would certainly be a boon to discourage derailments. Can't count the number of times when I've forgotten to rethrow a switch after moving a train up from the storage level and then having to hear the sounds of locos and rolling stock piling up in a bad spot to get to on my layout. One of the major switches on my layout is INSIDE A TUNNEL. Brilliant planning, and I thought long and hard about it.
