Which interface for me?

[gfs]

I run Homeseer.... lights, irrigation (rain8 + mcs), hvac (aprilaire), security (napco), cameras... love the system... looking for the right front end... have read all the posts about CQC, main lobby, maestro... looking for a flexible system that can integrate easily with mine.. also looking at Vista plug in to use with new HP touchsmart plug in. I have a Smasung q1 as well...
so whats new out there and what do you guys think?
Thanks!

if you already own & have homeseer setup, CQC wouldn't be appropriate. It takes the place of homeseer.

MainLobby will work, as it will integrate with it. Zero clue about Maestro.

Maestro is a fixed user interface that requires Homeseer. It is non user configurable for look / feel / navigation. It may be easier to setup for a Homeseer user than MainLobby due to it's fixed nature and total dependency on Homeseer.

MainLobby is completely expandable and adds lots to Homeseer in the way of additional hardware support and completely user configurable. There are also prebuilt UI scenes specific for your UMPC. More expensive than Maestro, but the best solution there is for a Homeseer user. It is the most popular addon to Homeseer with lots of mutual customers that can provide assistance and idea generation.

Homeseer is working on HSTouch, which will be a front end to Homeseer. Its graphical in nature and bidirectional. A release date has not yet been set yet. I understand that they are close to a finished product.
