If your clients pays that much for a custom CCF file then IMO they are being shown the wrong product. The Pronto series in any flavor/brand is only for a certain price point. Spending that much money should be redirected to a Crestron or AMX system that is much more powerful. All of this is IMO. I usually program a full CCF in about 1/2 to 3 hours depending on equipment. That is with "stock" CCFs that have been used over and over. Clients understand that.

Some clients want custom panels but from I have seen those have the money to invest in a better designed system with more solid control system and in turn have a Crestron system from us.

I agree about the cost effective issues with CCFs, that's why I would never buy and Yugo and invest 8 times its value in labor adding features. Maybe for some but not my clients.
