For us, in Romania, this is the cheaper option. A PIC is around 5 EURO
here.. the rest of the parts cost less than 5 EURO... An AM12 module is
around 20-25 EURO, but the transport and the custom duty make it around 50
USD..:((
I have paid 60 EURO only for transport for an Active Home Starter Kit..
through UPS...
There is no other transport option for Romania..:-((

My opinion is the same....you must buy this one ... it has a lot of other
features, like local memory for X10 events, which can be run without the PC
as they are programmed.

Best regards,
Dan
