Just to summarize the pros / cons of the two leading options, per this and other threads, it appears there are two primary choices on moving to remote operation of conventional (assuming you want to use currently supported equipment and don't want to do lionchief +) :
1) BASE1L/CAB1L (aka Legacy Lite as GRJ calls it). This will run legacy and tmcc with a limited set of features and will also control track voltage for conventional operation of MTH locos. Is that correct?

Well, not really. You'll need one more component to control track voltage with the "Legacy Lite" setup, the Legacy PowerMaster.

It actually comes in two flavors, the Legacy PowerMaster 180W and the Legacy PowerMaster 360W versions.

The PowerMaster goes between the track and the transformer and allows you control of track power using the TMCC or Legacy command system.
