Digitrax upgrades... worth it?

I'm using the Digitrax eco-system, the current setup being:
DCS100 command station.
DB150 Booster
Simplex Radio UR91
DT400R


Everything runs fine.. but I want to incorporate radio UT thrttles... (so I guess a UR93 and UT6Rs unless I can find a great deal on some UT4Rs)

Is there any benefit to getting an Evolution command station set to upgrade the command station and DT throttle?

... or just get a UR93 and some UT6Rs?

You can run a UR93 and use DT602D and UT6D throttles with a DCS100 command station.  I added the UR93 to a DCS100 with no problems at our club.  Also added a LNWI for the folks who like to use WiFi throttles.

The UR93 has some history for not "liking" UR92s, but I don't know of any problems using UR93s along with UR91s and simplex systems.  Our club used UR91s and UR92s together on a DCS100 on another layout, and that seemed to work fine while it was being done.  (The UR91 and UT4R throttles actually worked better than the UR92 and UT4D throttles.)

That is pretty much my setup .. i got the 602 a few years ago and the upgraded wireless -- but if it ain't broke, no need to fix it
