Kevin, even though I love my digitrax DCC, I think you are making the right move for know. Save the money to use for more important "real life" things for now. As others have mentioned, you can swap over to DCC later.
I agree with Gus that being able to set the CVs for starting voltage, midrange, and top end makes a loco easier to operate. Also having momentum/acceleration/deceleration variables to adjust is good. There are also Cvs for "kickstart" which can help a sluggish loco to run better. But all of this is icing on the cake for now. The cake is the real deal, the icing can come later.
