MartyE posted:I would certainly purchase both if you could. It certainly lets you buy a wider variety of locomotives. I do find DCS to be more feature rich, many of them IMO gimmicky and probably not used by 90% of folks but still adding play value, more than Legacy has. The setup can be a little more work than Legacy for DCS but Legacy does have a few quirks to keep in mind.
As far as DCS running Legacy, I always find that to be a bit funny because you still need a Legacy base, you need the MTH cable, the Lionel SER2 w/ power supply and a Legacy engine. It's not as simple as the advertising makes it. MTH's app though is pretty awesome once you do purchase all the "stuff" you need to run Legacy via DCS. I certainly wouldn't waste my time if it weren't for the app because you lose too much.
If you are patient and do get both you will be rewarded but as you have already seen in your research, DCS seems to have more challenges. Again once overcome definitely worth it.
Very well said Marty. I wish I could learn to be as eloquent and simple with my answers. I know what I am trying to say but somewhere between the Brain and fingers things get jumbled.
