Michael,
The 1 thing that neither of us previously mentioned is capacity. I gave a good surf around and did not see ONE thing about system output or decoder capacity. That would be important to most people. They seem to be concentrated on pretty new locomotives in HO only, that can plug their decoder in easily. Not very flexible or accommodating to me.. I LIKE the big NCE handle! Most buttons do 1 thing most of the time. Where is the emergency stop on Rail Pro? As for the speed matching it was someone interesting but that is not a problem for me. I usually run like units together and set them all to the same address - no consisting is needed. Like units are prototypical for me since I am not in "couple up and run it" Penn Central.. If I am running different locomotives together I use separate handles like the real thing with head end and helpers. Maybe Rail Pro could license the speed sensing programming to NCE and call it a day! There is some learning curve to DCC. I have said that you usually wind up with the brand or DCC system that your closest friends have. I don't think I have ever revisited a decoder to do extensive custom programming once the first 45 second programming was done so that negates the "complexity" issues touted by Rail Pro.
