I started like you - I bought a LOR 16 controller and used that for 1 year. Then I realized that I'd need a second mortgage if I were to go bigger, so I hunted and stumbled on this pile of gold here. In year 2, I built my own dongle and an LE and I used Vixen with LE and LOR. I then sold my LOR and got some more LEs and I ran all LEs this year.
You'll have no problem selling off your LOR and get a good penny for it. No problems. You don't have to sell it off, of course, but you'll have no problems doing it if you want to.
There is really no need to have LORs once you have found this site, in my opinion. For a fraction of the cost of a LOR, you can get LE. I never soldered in my life and it is pretty easy once you get the hang of it. And the people on this site are simply the best for support.
In short - you can't go wrong getting RJs stuff. Sell off the LOR and use that money to buy MORE stuff from here.
