Really, How much better is z wave over x10
Keep in mind I have a house that is 1800 square feet and the cost of zwave compared to x10 is almost triple.
However, I am intrigued.

Once you get Z-Wave installed and working it's far superior to X10 but it can be hard to get all the devices communicating cleanly. In the Z-Wave world the more devices the better the communications.

Way, way better. Way, way more expensive also, as you noted.

X10 was never stable for me and if it hadn't been for zwave and UPB I would have given up on automating lights.

It took me years to get X10 stable, but it's been rock solid for years after finding the source of my problems.
That said, if you don't own any hardware yet, buy something other than X10... it's just not robust enough, and never evolved to support a more intelligent design.

X10 works fine for me. That said, Z-Wave operation here can be summarized in one word: FAST!

Automate everything, modify the rest... but remember... For every action, there is an equal and unexpected reaction.

I could not agree more, X10 rock solid now and has been for a few years, but it took alot to get there.
If I were starting over I would choose UPB. JMHO.
