Reply to "LionChief Remote Control System"

I can see the market where these would be good for, but I don't fall in that market.  When I first learned of it, I didn't like it, and after seeing the video, I still don't like it.  It's a good thing I noticed it before I placed an order for a RTR set, I could of up screwing myself over with a locomotive I couldn't use.  It's good that Lionel is offering the locomotives in either LionChief or conventional, but they should really make the locomotive work under both.  TMCC and Legacy can, so why not this?  The only reason I can think of is that they were too lazy to design a PCB that'd allow both.  A switch could even make it so both boards are installed.  And boy did he talk a lot about the non train sounds, like the announcements and music.  To me those are not features, but reasons to avoid them.  They should of also made these things TMCC or Legacy controllable.  What are these little engineers going to do when they grow up and go to a "big boy's" command system and find their favorite childhood engine won't work with it?  Who hands to use two remotes at once?
