I haven't tried it, but I've studied it quite a bit and would install 
it in a heartbeat if I could afford it.

I got some quotes on a system when I built my new house. A 4-zone 
system was going to be $3-4k and an 8-zone system would have been 
around $7k. It didn't fit my budget very well either, and it's one of 
the things my wife and I cut from our list early on in the process. I 
did wire for it, however, so I can install it (or something similar) 
later.
