Rapido SW1200RS and ESU Lokprogrammer

Just got my two new SW1200RS's from Rapido.  They're look, run and sound great.  

But I'm having a weird problem when I try to read the loco sound decoder values into my Lokprogrammer.  The function mapping the Lokprogrammer reads has no correlation to how the decoder functions.  In other words, if I press a function key, it does something different than the function map says.  What it actually does corresponds exactly with the manual, though.

i get the same results for each of the two Locos.

Preferred DCC system for Loksound decoders

I'm using an NCE Powercab to run my HO shelf layout.  Nearly all my regularly-used locos have ESU Loksound sound decoders.

I've had the NCE system for over 10 years and it's not working as well as it used to, partly due to age and partly due to some drops to the (carpeted) floor.  So, I'm considering getting a new system.

What are the Loksound-users out there using?  And, would you recommend that system?
