I bought a brand new Legacy 990 last week, and got my first Legacy engine programmed and running this past weekend! Yes, i see right away, it is much better than the old TMCC!
Mark,
You are spot on! Whether running command or conventional, PW or modern, the Cab2 improves the performance of all my Lionel engines.
I'm curious exactly how Legacy is better than regular TMCC for running non-Legacy locomotives? What ends up being better?

I find the slow speed control / stall speed to be improved. I use both the Cab 1 and Cab 2 on my layout and the Cab 2 allows even the Pullmor engines to start slow and creep along. I do run conventional through TPC's so the 240 speed step's also help. The Cab 2 speed dial also offers resistance as you advance the throttle which to me offers more precise control than the free wheeling Cab 1. My grand kids prefer the Cab 1 because it is lighter. All in all both are excellent throttles.
