Going w/ Zigbee over Z-wave.. any thoughts?

Been playing a bit with the Securfi Almond + lately.
Got a preview of the Zigbee trinkets store a few weeks back. Not sure yet if it is for public consumption. Maybe it is now.
That said endeavor is global in multiple countries such that there you will see plenty of Zigbee switches that will work for you where you live.
The Almond + is a combination router, firewall, switch, Gb wireless and automation hub with a built in touchscreen that speaks Zigbee and Z-Wave automation today. (tomorrow maybe a bit more).
You can also "reach up" and touch the Almond Plus in the cloud via whatever console device tickles your fancy (cell phone / tablet like).
It is a bigger than a microrouter (cigarette pack size) but smaller than the typical off the shelf combo router (well sans automation).

Guys,
Great stuff, thanks. I can't go with Euro boxes; the house is already mostly built. Also, I've looked extensively for both Z-Wave and Zigbee light switches & dimmers, but no-one has products that meet all the requirements:
1) 220v 60Hz
2) US-type single-gang metal boxes
