Nope, I wouldn't be interested in LC, or LC+. I see a lot of locomotives that would interest me in the catalog, but I will not support the LC, LC+ concept.
I WOULD be buying many of those locomotives IF they were TMCC, but I DON'T WANT a box full of remotes that each only run one locomotive, or locomotives that I have to go get a specific remote to run. That remote dies, so does the engine. I am HAPPY with my Cab-1 and Cab-2s, grab ONE remote and control ANY Locomotive.
Lionel REALLY needs to develop a standardized plug system, so that they can install whatever level electronics fit the price point they are trying to meet with a product, but still have it up-gradable to be compatible with a (Potential) customers existing equipment.
If a standardized plug system can work in HO or N scales, there is no reason it can't work in O Gauge.
MTH puts DCS in EVERY Locomotive they produce, and their prices are competitive with Lionel's.
Lionel is just making less and less of what I want, and charging more for what they do produce. Fortunately I have enough(Is that really possible?) locomotives that I could be fine with never buying another, but there are models that I would like to add to my collection that I don't have yet.
WAKE UP Lionel, there ARE sales to be had if you ever get it RIGHT.
