Vernon - would using conventional vs. command alter this paradigm?

I would refer to this topic https://ogrforum.ogaugerr.com/...yssey-and-odyssey-ii

In general, I do not expect Odyssey to work or work well- regardless of version in conventional due to the concept of voltage headroom.

In order to control speed (Odyssey speed controlled feedback loop)- you need a source of voltage greater than the motor actually needs to be able to throttle and adjust it to the given mechanical load to maintain an exact speed. In conventional, even if the board senses that voltage as an offset to lower the starting speed, there is limited headroom and odyssey or similar speed control feedback feature is less effective compared to command mode with full voltage on the track and tons of headroom for fine control.
