I for one would like to see EZ COmmand evolve into something of a junior DYnamis, fully capable of being integrated into the main system if desired. As it stands you can't do this now. I feel it could be modified to provide much more functionality without sacrificing its simplicity. Other DCC manufacturers have done this, years ago. How much different would it be if acquiring a locomotive evolved from "push a button 1 to 10" to "Push Loco key, and enter locomotive number, then LOCO again?" Because that is the difference between EZ COmmand and Digitrax Zephyr. EZ command has 10 possible addresses, Zephyr has almost 10k. I am using Zephyr for comparison because it is the system I am most familiar with. Others on the market are undoubtedly similar.
EZ COmmand vs Dynamis should not be an either/or decision. Rather Dynamis should be an upgrade of an existing EZ COmmand, or rather the two systems should be made compatable so that EZ Command could function as a throttle and/or booster in a Dynamis system. This is what others do. And the others are EZ Command's competition, not DYnamis.
