I know Engadget had a great review back at the beginning of the year for the Blaster.
I also know that the AVS forums are filled with dealers (Crestron, Lutron, C4, Vantage, etc, etc) that defend their vendor's automation solutions to the death. I have been singing the praises of Vera and SQ Remote/Blaster for a long time there and it always turns into a flame war (that I feel like I've won because they can't argue with the value of these solutuons). You may not have much luck in the HA forums, but I say keep trying.
It is either a dealer defending their livelyhood and denouncing Z-Wave, or an enthusiast who paid through the nose for a Lutron system who defends their purchase so they don't feel ripped off. Either way I usually just PM the poster with advice about using Square Connect's products and tell them about my positive experience.
