You already know that HD is for the "Heavy Duty" users like yourself
. LE is for "Limited Edition" users like me
. Limitation to busses, track counts, etc. are a way of life in LE. We make do with it however we can.
Analogy:
If you used to drive a Ferrari and now get a Honda Accord, you'd think the Honda was a joke. Those of us with a Honda Accord think it is plenty to get us to the supermarket and back. We can still wish to drive a Ferrari but can't justify the cost yet.
