In addition to the parts issue, I wonder if the DCS developers aren't hoping to attract a younger crowd to the hobby; they're more likely accustomed to blue tooth and iPhones than most of us are. But, if that's the case, I question the logic. If the papers are to be believed, most are saddled with debt, have little disposable income, and probably have little or no interest in model trains.
As for myself, I have both DCS and Legacy, but with only one PS 3 locomotive (my PS 2 bi-polar won't fit through the lift bridge), I think I will keep the DCS, but keep my eyes open for a Lionel replacement for the MTH SW-1.
