I think the issue comes if you want to do radio/wireless control. You have to spend several hundred dollars for a wireless receiver and at least one radio/wireless handheld unit. On the other hand, most people already own a cellphone or tablet, so there’s not as much expense involved in doing it. Now with decoders like Blunamis, you don’t even need DCC, you can accomplish the same thing on DC power.
I, too, like Brussel Sprouts but will pass on the Lima Beans (my wife calls them Butter Beans - sure look like Limas to me) and the Liver and Onions!
Eat what you enjoy and use technology if it fits your situation. Most of all, have fun doing it.
