I, too, fought DCC tooth and nail, mostly because I had never used it before, didn't understand it at all and had no clue hwo to set it up.

I found a screaming deal on a new MRC prodigy advanced DCC system in a box. For a 10X11 layout with 4 locos max, it's really all I'll ever need. I had some friends who understood DCC come over and in a day and a half everything was all wired up.

I'm still not 100% sure I 'get' all this, but the wiring is pretty simple, even for someone who doesn't understand wiring very well.

Now that I have the system, I now know why people swear by DCC as much as they do.

I've operated on layouts with Digitrax, though, and I would never dream of using it for how non-user-friendly it is. The MRC stuff is pretty simple to get the hang of.
