Chris,
You can't use the PR4 for both at the same time. So keeping the LocoBuffer
for the command station and the PR4 as the standalone programmer will give
you the most flexibility. Granted you will have to watch that you are
talking to the right programmer, that will be an extra pulldown box on the
programmer screens.
