Are native z-wave blinds worth a $450 premium vs soma?

I own the Soma as well as mysmartblinds retrofit kits. The soma blinds are expensive but they are magnificant -- the batteries last, literally, 2+ years (I've had them for 5 years and replaced the batteries once, about 2 years ago).

They quality is great -- they work perfectly and having pico remotes -- It's a lot of money but honesty the'll last for years and work reliably.

The mysmartblinds upgrade kits also work -- it's a bit more DIY, doesn't integrate into hubitat and generally need more fiddling (I feel like I have to do something a few times a year to fix them).

If you can afford them, and you are OK with lutron (you need the hub) I really recommend them
