I have DCS, but lack of conventional running capability on any engine is a deal-killer for me. It's not an age thing - it's practical, for multiple reasons. Sometimes, I want to just keep it simple and run conventional. My modular club's layout is often set up for conventional-only due to time constraints (hook up, troubleshooting, etc.) - we only use DCS for multiple-day setups, and sometimes not even then. Sooner or later, the remote will fail or get dropped - at that point, the engine becomes a boat anchor - and I wouldn't count on Menards offering spares.
