Have you plead your case to the local Savant sales rep or west coast sales? May or may not get you mileage.

I'm in a similar boat with Lutron Homeworks in my area (SF bay). I'm a RA2 Inclusive dealer but can't get to the next level. I'm partnering with a local Homeworks guy for any work I need and I still make money with our arrangement. Conversely I have a local integrator that uses me for Savant and networking, works well for him as he doesn't want to deal with it.
