I'm not following, the 850 and the M2 have the same list price (?)

In my world the 850 and M2 are in completely different
ballparks. Shame. I hear what those of you in the know
are saying but the massive price difference makes the
choice a lot easier. For NOW, I'm sticking with URC handsets
with the occasional RTI keypad.

Without publishing prices, the M2 is around 70-80% more at cost prices.
Sticking to what I'm good at.

RTI has a product now for just about every price point,
The M2 looks like an 850, its at the same price point,
but the M2 is more powerful fom a system perspective,
you can also add and change black and white icons on the
screen, versus the URC text only concept. The T1 costs
even less.

No offense, and I was tempted to let this thread just die, but it would carry a lot more weight if your login was "URC Installer" and you were saying RTI was better. Obviously you are a fan of RTI which doesn't give the OP a warm-fuzzy that you are unbiased. I personally don't care, but you see my point...

When clients are offered choices, it's either a color
RTI if price is not an issue, or an MX850/900 if price
is an issue.

Don't presume anything with your clients. Offer the better
products and let them choose. They will surprise you
often.

BTW, though I currently am doing more RTI, when I do an
MX850, it is still a lot faster for me. Maybe the familiarity
factor, I don't know...

this is right outta my play book..

My point earlier was that since stereoguy is used to URC he might want to stick with it for this project. OKOK maybe I'm the only stoopid one, but I can bang out an all new file for an 850 in about 30 minutes with macros, shortcuts blah blah blah but a freaking T2-C takes hours. moving buttons, making buttons etc.

My point on the MSC was that it has wayyyyyy more outputs and flexibility and as stereoguy described his system sounded like more outputs were needed. just my impression...

Yeah, but.....

If you are just doing IR, maybe you have a point. What if you want an RF option?

Whats that, $150-250 for URC; $400-800 for RTI? That's the difference.
There is no truth anymore. Only assertions. The internet world has no interest in truth, only vindication for preconceived assumptions.
