CBus v Flexidim

Anyone here looked much into comparing CBus & Flexidim?

The Flexidim kit is cheaper and if you don't want integration with other
systems it seems to be a pretty descent cheaper option to CBus, but still
giving most of the functionality.

I don't see much on the SimplyAutomate site pointing out the downsides of
Flexidim compared to CBus, but surely there are some?

Some ppl I meet def do not like the look of the Neo switches and aren't too
fussed on the Saturns either, and actually prefer the look of the Flexidim
kit.

And one thing that sounded good was that the Flexidim kit has a User
Configuration Utility - http://www.jclighting.com/page11.html.
Allowing the
user to re-configure button functions easily. To do this with Cbus you
obviously need an expensive PCI (or similar) and a fair bit of knowledge
into the CBus programming.
