Before going gaga about the explorer, I would carefully consider the cost vs the cost of a TIU & remote.  No one has yet had hands on experience with the explorer using a large layout.  While fine to come with a starter set to enable the recipient to access all of a DCS loco's features, if you are planning expansion, you'd be financially ahead of the game to go for the TIU & remote at about $300 which can handle a huge layout and many locos vice an untested explorer at $129. 

Agreed.  The DCS Explorer was not designed to operate large layouts.  It specifically was 'not' designed to run large layouts in that it has limitations in the number of engines, power, switch and accessory control, and engine features.  It was expressly designed for starter sets and intermediate users so they can "explore" DCS and hopefully, enjoy the benefits and move forward from there.
