So Greg, we should instead seek out Scott and stick a sharp stick in his eye?
FWI, the other end of the spectrum is a key component, the Cruise Commander and AC Commander. Without those, there is no upgrade. Also, if obsolescence forces a change of the Lionel RS-Lite board, there's no certainty they'd keep it compatible with the ERR product line, that might be the end of the line for the RS Commander.
I do agree that Scott has a vested interest in keeping the ERR line alive for his own products, I suspect that was one motivating factor in licensing the ERR line. I also find it's best not to assume the worst of people.
