Turnout Decoders

For my new layout I need to control 6 sets of points on one board and 7 on the other. I am using Dynamis with Peco point motors and was thinking of using a Lenz LS150 and a Roco 10776 turnout decoders for them. What would be the best way to power a LS150? Would the accessory outputs of an old Hornby controller do? I have not found a great deal of information about the Roco turnout decoder, does anyone have experience of using this?
Thanks
Ross

Thanks for the link. The output of the Hornby controller is 16V AC which should be fine for the decoder. Thanks
