By far Vantage is better than Lutron. Easier to wire, costs less and you ca=
n do much much more. Another thing if not the most important thing. Vantage=
 is forward and reverse compatible. This means in the future you do not hav=
e to rip out parts to update the system, like with Lutron etc. Also I've go=
ne back to projects that were 20 years old and updated them to work with al=
l the new Vantage options, with ease, by changing the processor. There is a=
lso an APP called softwareforhomecontrol.com I use this app a lot I can des=
ign a touch-screen (IPAD or IPHONE) to do anything. I have been a Vantage d=
ealer for 20+ years. I've been a Lutron, Crestron and LiteTouch dealer in t=
he past. I know the in and outs of most of the systems. I'm glad to talk to=
 you if you'd like. I do not want to put my phone number on this site.
