If it works for you, why worry with it. If/When it fails, or you want to upgrade to Legacy, do it then.

Great answer!
Ok, great, TexasSP, thanks for the info, and happy holidays, Phil
When it dies, upgrade. Especially if you don't have any Legacy locomotives.
What texassp and others have said. Unless you have Legacy engines, and even if you do....TMCC Cab1 is just fine. All my engines have the old, basic system. And....the secondary market
( buy/ sell/trade) will still have many available engines for quite awhile...
I think you're Ok with TMCC if you're not running Legacy locs. I run Legacy locs and I want all the features so I have had the Legacy system for years + years. You might eventually see that as something you want, also.
But, dirty little secret, I use my CAB-1 frequently, too. 
Before considering purchasing a Legacy system, I would suggest buying a DCS system. Get the cable to connect the TMCC base to the TIU and you can run all of your TMCC and Legacy and DCS engines with one remote. I prefer the DCS remote to the CAB 1.
Hi` and thanks for all of your answers, they all make sense, how ever, i don`t have or want Legacy or Dcs, 3 of my engines are TMCC, all the rest are pre- and post war conventional, again, thanks for all the info, Happy Holidays to you all, Phil
