It's intriguing and I like that you get a ton of customizable sound sets to mix n' match that can be configured right in the app. The price is too high for me, $256 just for the board when I can get a PS3 upgrade kit (board + everything else needed for the installation) for $200 that also has DCC built in. Plus the 4408 board has no chuffing smoke control for steamers nor variable intensity smoke for diesels.
I wonder if the outputs of the 4408 can be configured for lighting features like Rule 17, beacon strobes, firebox flicker, and ditch lights without special boards and/or bulbs?
UPDATE: Reading through the user manual and the 4408 does have a very good list of custom lighting features:
