I'm planning on upgrading the sound system on a WBB FA-1 that is to arrive soon. The ERR RailSounds Commander is, of course, superior to the WBB True Blast Plus upgrade kit but the ERR kit would cost $60 more, including shipping. Is the extra volume, startup and shutdown sounds, and lack of cutout during direction changes worth the cost? I have both other ERR RailSounds Commanders—medium steam and F3/7 and Williams True Blast Plus boards—GP30 and GE 70-tonner, so I know how they compare in a general sense. My primary concern is whether or not True Blast Plus's FA prime mover sounds are drowned out during running. Or if the volume is "good enough." Feedback anyone?
