As you seem to have taken a stance different from what I would guess to be most on here, Im curious to see the responses. (Alan?)

It seems that most on here would PREFER to be "exclusive" with the "good ol' boys" club. I would prefer to carry a line that is not "shoppable" or installed by the rest of the competition. (Not so much the competition, as much as being able to get it at BB, CC, E-bay, etc) That said however, you make some interesting points on the Crestron line, the requirements to cary the line, and the proprietary issues surrounding it. Will be interesting to see the replies.
