I have used Lutron, Vantage, CentraSUCKS and Crestron on several projects. The largest project was a 350 load Crestron and project and have not had any issues with it except one. I was told the dimming module would act as a true latching relay and found out it won't. I had cove lighting that was supposed to be magnetic to be changed to Electronic. The Client was fine with 100% on and off so I called and verified this should not be an issue. We had issues with the fixture popping and when I went to get documented from engineering that it was not related to the dimming module I was told that it wasn't a true latching relay and I needed to add expanders or new modules. Outside of this, I have been very please and as far as I know have not had any returns and repairs on any of the Crestron projects. I like both Lutron and Crestron, personal best regardless for me is Vantage when it comes to straight up lighting control, but being a Crestron freak I prefer to stay here. Crestron margins are better than Lutron from my last look by as much as 15%. One other thing I ran into with Lutron's HW was the reporting on the IP port. Had a project with 380 loads 3 years ago and the client wanted fb on all buttons and loads so the Crestron interfaces could modify the scenes on the fly for them. I didn't want to do it, thinking this could be an issue, but they were determined. I ran into a buffer issue where the HWs would lock up. After Lutron playing the blame game for a month I was able to get an engineer "not in writing" to admit there was an issue and it wasn't going to be fixed. The new processors may have fix this issue though. I have not had any such issue "obviously" with Crestron talking to Crestron. lol!
