ZW powered TIU vs. Auxiliary powered TIU

I am presently powering my MTH TIU two Fixed In ports separately from two Lionel ZW's, powering two separate track loops.  I cannot direct the power to Fixed In Two to run trains on that separate loop without first powering up Fixed In One to get the internal red light on, even slightly.  And if I'm running a train through Fixed In One conventionally, this presents a problem.  I'm thinking of removing the Fixed In ports from the ZW's and using an MTH Z-750 to power the TIU.  Does this make sense, and will these ports then be at a fixed voltage?  What am I sacrificing if I do this?  Or should I just go out of the two variable ports?  I just wish that the DCS system was as user friendly as Lionel Legacy....
