After giving this some thought and talking with the family (more than I have been about this for the last few weeks), I think we are looking at well under $2000 in costs.  More likely in the $1600 range.  It would be $1400 but I am looking to have a backup controller.

With selling off old equipment (2 LOR residential units and a mp3 director), that should take a decent chunk out of the total.  Add on dumping all the incan and led strings for maybe $1 each to locals and I think the net cost would be just over $1000.

So, with all that said, I ordered 2 Falcon F16v2 Pixel Controllers w/ mounting plates for about $425 and we are “doing this”!

Off to read more forums and wait for the holidaycoro pre-sale to pick up most of the other stuff!
