I think I'll go back to conventional control at some point.
A few thoughts:
My twin middle school age sons and I prefer the remotes and own three. Like yankspride4 says: the remote puts a mental separation in between everything else and train time.
Also, my wifi isn't so great from top floor of my house to my basement. Seems like MTH is possibly introducing yet another possible point of frustration in running DCS/MTH trains.
Finally, my personal smart phone gets call almost as frequently as my work phone. And when it does, the screen changes to phone mode. What happens when two trains are about to go through a T crossing at opposite angles and at that moment my phone rings? Crash, boom, bang! Well, maybe MTH is smarter than I thought. This "issue" could result in more sales volumes to replace totaled trains. Heehee...
