I think that title will remain with the Pronto Professional with Barry Gordon's custom action for Squeezecentre. It is as powerful as a Crestron with the serial extender and costs peanuts in comparison, but at £1000 is still a lot more than the Squeezecentre controller.
If they build in a way to send IR commands over WiFi to an IR blaster then I think it might stand a chance.
Philips remote controls have come a long way since the original Pronto and I know a number of custom installers who use them in preference to Crestron now. The first time you program one it is a pain, but that template can then be easily customised to work with other people's kit.
Nothing Logitech have produced to date can compete with the flexibility and power of the Pronto range.
