Is UPB really more expensive?  In comparing switches w/ similiar
capabilities (true rocker, scenes, etc.), I think the new UPB switches are
running right in the middle of the pack compared to PCS SmartSwitch,
SmartLinc, Lightolier, etc.  If you are saying that they are more expensive
that stock X10 switches, then that is true.  But that is an apples to
oranges comparison.
