I have just chuckled at the continued debate !!!! on these aspects of DCC.I have to say I have not seen anything I would consider libellous, constructively critical maybe.
The only point I would make about prefitted decoders is the one I made a long time ago when it was first suggested and that is that they would need to be of the right quality to satisfy some people. I accept that as long as the decoder supports the number of functions required on the particular loco then that is fine. However I also recognise that there are definite differences in performance between the cheaper and more expensive decoders.
So if the decoders are hard-wired in then that would be unacceptable if we wanted to replace them.
