6 wide. I'd rather they continue to match past and current trains than start
something new .My home layout doesn't have the clearances for 8 wide. I
would also be concerned about the 8 wide cost vs. future 6 wides.

No. I can't see how DCC would affect my 6/8 wide preference. Unless 8 wide
meant a new motor that only worked with DCC. Then I might choose to forgo
DCC.
Larger radius curves would be useful, I'd also like to see the 1/2 track
sections (and even the 1/4 track sections) that Ben mocked up.

It depends on the price point. If it's reasonable, I'll buy it. If it's
ugly, I'll wait until it went on sale. If it means abandoning/rebuilding my
current layout, I'll only use it for parts.

Well, TLC is producing more trains again. They just happen to be Duplo. And,
no, that doesn't make me any happier. TLC can make bad product. I don't buy
everything that says 'LEGO' on it (although I buy an awful lot that does...)
