By using SB, I could offer the SAME level of functionality and at pretty close to the same price, BUT have tons of options to expand, at which point, a SIMPL programmer would likely be needed.
When you reach the point of requiring a SIMPL/VTPRO programmer because of the need for more customized automation, you'll find it doesn't make sense to use the existing System Builder code as a starting point. It can be done. However, the new code generally cannot be added elegantly and you will not be able to modify the new configuration using system builder again.
For these reasons I agree with Stamp. If a Prodigy or Adagio system will ever out grow it's Wizard or System Builder programming, the original program should be created using SIMPL/VTPROE from the start for a more supportable, predictable and professional result.
