Very true, although I defer to Barry B for all-things-DCS. @Barry Broskowitz

Yes, the price seems cost effective (as bundling usually is) but I am left to wonder if it comes with the remote control unit. I don't think so; and with that, you would be compelled to get at least the basic app for your smartphone/tablet, which is quite limited. The premium app is another $30 or so.

I just ordered the WIU from Mario's Trains - it should be here on Monday. I have also order Barry's book, which comes highly recommended.

My only complaint as of today is that the remote controller/hand-held is slow to respond to thumb wheel changes. New batteries and direct-line-of-sight to the base unit (the TIU) doesn't make any difference. Not sure what is going on.
