Not quite.  I'm not the OP of the thread, I just chipped in with my
experiences of X10, to make people aware of the problems caused by the
communication delays.  I certainly haven't been singing the praises of X10,
or claiming it to be superior to C-Bus.

For me, X10 will work, with the addition of a couple of homemade modules -
and I'm perfectly comfortable with that.

For the OP, the C-Bus system may well be the answer, since (IIRC) his wife
won't be happy with X10's out-of-the-box performance
