Again, I am someone who will never convert to the plain plastic, but I
see the IR system being much more useful if the battery/receiver is
unbundled from the baseplate.
Ideally, I would like to have the IR receiver unbundled from both
battery and baseplate. That way you could theoritically use the IR to
control your motor powered by 9V track, you could build IR/plastic
track engines and cars much more realistically, and you could even
easily integrate the IR system in other Lego applications such as a
small rail truck using a 9V battery, monorails, or even road based
busses and trucks - that would be a blast.
So for IR to be worthwhile for me to purchase, the reciever needs to
be un-bundled from the battery box setup.
