Lionel usually does pretty well with these offerings. I personally have no interest in one but think it's a pretty interesting offering. Looking at the comparison that was displayed on the screen of the standard General they put out vs. these models and I can see where there would be issues getting all the electronics inside. It seems to be much smaller than their usual General release. I'll take their word for it. The Pennsy cars though look like they could be pretty nice!
As far as the regular Legacy vs BMF version, I think it will do well in this engine. I don't believe many folks will be MU'ing these and hopefully they can tweak the speed curve to be more responsive.
