Unsure what the purpose of your post is..
I don't see digital and analog as "identical" 

I enjoy both but , for me, they are entirely different.

Different tech
Different approach 
Different race skills.

I never raced a "toy" quality digital system. 
For me a hobby/club quality must have radio control to the car (not controlled via the track rails/braids)

I don't do "loft" racing. 
The real beauty in digital is the ability to put down tracks that are huge, for example the Henly LeMans 24 hour oxigen event.
