Agree 100% with Greg's answer to your hypothetical question 
I've also been thinking - if your main focus is analogue, I would keep the track for that. Squeezing in lane changers and a pit lane (you really need one to get the most out of digital) will be a pain if you don't use them often. And you'll need to tape the flippers for analogue so they don't catch the cars.
Another option would be some digital rug racing for the family fun. It's more investment, but might work better? Something like this at Jadlams is a great digital starter set - 34ft long (fits an 8 x 4ft space) with ARC Pro, 4 digital cars & controllers and a pit lane. If you preferred touring cars, I'm sure they'd swap them.
Of course, if you're actually very tempted by going digital for the long term, then there's plenty of expertise here to help you design a permanent layout which is both a great digital track and a decent analogue layout, with as few compromises as possible. There's also the option of the older Advanced Powerbase (see a thread here), which has better software and pace car features.
Although ARC Pro (and the APB) can run analogue as well as digital, it won't be anywhere near as good for your club racing cars as the Fusion and Truspeeds - so Greg's 4PDT switch is the ideal solution if you go for a hybrid track.
