the 450 is fairly useless if you want discretes unless you are x-learning from a pir-1. I don't know what anyone would spend the money on an mx5000 when you can get TC for the price of that remote. It's absolutely insane. Have you ever tried to enter wifi information in that thing manually using the on-remote keypad? Hell, for a $1200 you can practically get into a savant smart host system.
OK I apologize because I did not preview my post before it went viral. Two different posts got mingled and it was unintelligible.
In a nutshell, I used 450s before the 780 came out but will be using up the last 450 batch, at which time the 780 will be my entry point. The question was which ones do we stock, so that was my answer - at this time they are all in my truck.
I also have to keep an 850 and a 900 to swap out for clients with button failures. However, there is no point in offering a 900 to new clients with color basically the same price.
BTW, the 450 has lots of discretes and the same database as the big boys, but as you know is much harder to find the right device.
As for the 5000, the setup is not the issue, it is the wifi performance that in my judgment is average at best to where I don't set it up - don't want to support it.
As far as déjà vu, whatever Yogi Berra said...
