I also like the NCE system, been thinking about trying it out on my O gauge MTH stuff (all PS-3) in the next couple of years or so. I have looked at most of the other DCC systems and the NCE is the one I like the best. I was also impressed the the NCE systems are mabe in the USA, They have some youtube videos of their factory and how they make their DCC stuff (if you haven't seen them already?). I have not watched them in a couple of years, but I was impressed when I last saw them.

Why not just run your HO system in DCC and skip the MTH DCS system? I am not completely current on all the MTH DCC features, but I thought they had expanded them somewhat from their start into the HO world? Is there is still an advantage to also having a DCS system with HO?? 

I haven't seen those videos, you have a link to them? The reason for wanting to use DCS in HO is that if I get a MTH Steamer with the quillable whistle, I'd want to use it and I don't know if you can use that feature on the NCE system. Plus I'd been using DCS for a long time in O scale and I find it easy to use. 

If you stick with DCS for HO, you are only going to be able to run MTH locos.

You're right, I also just looked at the HO Catalog from MTH and they say when you use the full DCS System, you can't use DCC, its one or the other. I'll go with DCC so I can run everything out there.
