If you do no particularly care for automation, I would say run as far and fast from Control 4 as you can.
I don't have the time nor the inclination to become a geek to the point of programming anything. With Control 4, I am tied to the hip with our "integrator" every time something goes south. And that is often. My system has been in for a year and a half in a new house and I have disabled half of the controllability because things never work right. And guess when they don't work, during Super Bowl, the Masters, etc. You can do most of what Control 4 does with standalone systems and if you are inclined to do that, go with it.
I'm in the process of designing a new house now and I've interviewed 3 "integrators" and I can feel my blood pressure begin to rise just listening to them. And here is going to be the pitch from everyone that loves C4, you need a good "integrator"! Well guess what, you won't know how good the guy is until he is finished and that's too late.
Good luck!!
