Pretty much yes to all of those questions :)

Yes the plates look good - display options include the DLT LCD switches
showing slider values, names etc. Colour and BW touchscreens for more info,
plus logic control etc.

Dimming is good - and yes ramp rates are variable on a scene basis.

All Din rail mounted relays and dimmers no bigger than 12 module - only
thing they miss which I think dynalite do is the ability to create a unit
with a mix of dimmers and relays in it.

I know Cbus is highly rated but what is it that is so good, especially in
the realm of AV integration (or heating)?  I know the face plates look
good,
but are they just buttons or are there display options too? (as with
EIB/Gira) Is it ultra smooth dimming, variable & configurable speed,
convenient packages of relays and dimmers?
Is it centrally controlled or distributed?

Thanks
