Unless you want features like dimming more than 300 watts, double tap

    * Hardwired fixture modules
    * I/O modules to integrate just about anything to a UPB system
    * Completely open and freely available spec
    * Products available from multiple vendors
    * Convenient software to set up an entire system

The main downside is price.
