One button station for house lights?

Does anyone have a Vision.net system or other "One-Button" system for dimming house lights? A system like that allows you to program the house lights in various degrees of dimming so that a non-technical user in the congregation or staff can just push one button and have the desired amount of dimming. Usually there are 4 or 5 buttons for different lighting situations.

We are contemplating installing such a system and would like to know your experience, both good and bad. Any information and advice based on your experience would be much appreciated.

We have one with 8 buttons I believe. I really think the only time it is used is by the janitor when he is in there cleaning. I would recommend putting the money towards a better lighting board. We also have a 64 channel lightboard and have programed scenes on the bottom row. It's just as simple to control, just turn on the board and bring up the slider you want.

I usually either use the proprietary system that goes with the dimmer rack or something from DFD. Never had a bad experience with either.
