Try it and see if you can do it without cutting anything first. There is no reason why the motor itself should act any different if wired correctly to the decoder. I believe I may have had some that were permanently attached by a spot of gluegun, but I am under the impression that I acquired those second hand, so not sure.

I think so. For digital use, get the cheapest of the two.
