Reply to "New Lionel Base3 transition thoughts for my layout"

I am an individual whom came back into the hobby 3-4 years ago.   Left the hobby prior to TMCC, DCS amongst many others things.   I had a lot of learning to do.  I got the Legacy system and DCS system in the first year.  I never purchased a remote for DCS and always have only used the app.   Then I mostly only use the Legacy remote vs Lionel app when running my Lionel trains.  I laugh at myself as I think what will I do with out my Legacy remote when I never used one anyhow with DCS.   I find myself having an argument with myself.   So assume I will be OK with the new Base 3 system when I accept change for myself.  

The one thing I do think of is that I use an ipad to run MTH and then on another track will be running Lionel via remote.   So basically I have to separate devices to run trains.   So how easy will it be for me to move between apps on one device (e.g. ipad).   Will I need to have another device?   I usually set a top speed for my MTH engines as I have on occasion a run away or sudden increase in speed.   But can react quickly as the app is open to control that engine if in the event I forgot to put that max speed setting in place.     So I am sure I will figure this out as I know I can swipe between work, travel, other apps but will I be able to do this easily or fast enough when running both DCS and Lionel on one device.    Maybe this has been discussed or is in another forum.
