Yes friends, after many months of agonizing over this issue I ordered the GML throttle system. There were 2 reasons that finally pushed me to this decision. The first was that I visited a nice sound/DCC equipped layout this past week. The sound became an annoyance and distraction for me because of my poor hearing.
Secondly, I have only 2 blocks on my layout and still will only run 1 loco at a time for the most part.
I am still happy with my decision. I am also happy for all of you that chose a different system. Ain't it wonderful, we can buy what we want and still be brothers in a great hobby.
Thanks for all the input from many on the forum. All of you helped me make my decision.

Edit: My brother just left and told me if I would order DCC it would pay half the cost. Now, he knows I do not need his money, I think he "messin with me." He would feel really funny if I took him up on it. My sister-in-law would put a knot on his head too.
