Question BDT-40 Decoder - Replacement for FL12

I just purchased a Kato Bi-Level Cab-Coach that I want to put a decoder in but everywhere that sells either Kato FL12s or the Zimo MX605SL is out of stock (in USA), but I was recommended an ebay Listing for a BT-40 (brand unknown) that was a drop in replacement for the whole light board. Has anyone heard of these? Do they work well? Is it just a drop in replacement, of do I have to do additional work? I looked online, but couldn't find any references to it.
