I wasn't thinking convenience; I was thinking cost. Instead of a $500 motor + a $150 timer, the Emerson motor was just $275 -- less than 1/2 the cost for the same function.

I didn't know about the reliability problem -- I've only dealt with a few Emerson motors, and didn't have problems with those. If you have more info on that issue, could you email it to me? (I don't want to hijack this thread.)
