Years ago I comitted to using Elan on 100% of my installs. I have no regret whatsoever on a technical level, but one thing I never considered and I think you should work this into your equation:
Control 4 is the system that homeowners already have a chance of having brand recognition with. I'm constantly trying to educate homeowners that there are other options, which takes time and resources, whereas if I had just chosen Control 4 I'd be ahead of the game.
Just saying, consider brand recognition into the equation. If that's not important to you, then you should consider Elan as well because it's really solid.
We were in the same boat. We did RTI for years and it ate our programmers time.
We switched to Clare Controls and are really happy. We had them do a RTI driver so we can use the remotes, but the programming is done by Clare. We have just over 100 sites right now and they are pretty solid, cloud programming, native zwave, etc.
I can get a new, 8x8 video, 8+ audio zone system, security, surveillance and remotes programmed in a few hours.
