Guys this is exactly the kind of info I'm looking for... the capacity capabilities related to the AES and what it can support. Sounds like it would generally work.I read the info on the crestron capabilities document, but often its best to ask the folks that work with this stuff.

So if I build this out, could it support

5 apads
1 ipad
1 tps6
2 MLX-3

2 avr's
2 displays (a plasma and a pj)
input devices for 2 setups

some limited lighting and shade control for the HT and media room - via either lutron grafix eye or some crestron alternative

It seems like the lighting and shade control might be the only thing that is an issue?
