First Basic Stamp

Hello,
I'm working in the world of domotica and led lights these days.
We are using a lot of logic modules here, (zelio, millenium,...)
Most of the time we are using them for simple logic functions, toggle outputs, all outputs off with a single button press (1 second delay) or all on function (3 sec delay)
I wrote a nice basic stamp version of these logic functions and want to create our own logic modules for it.
I was planning to create some O-10V output modules too (dimmer functions) and a rgb controller (with pwmpal's), maybe an application with PINK's
My boss likes the idea.
But, he never used basic stamps before, and is asking questions about it: price, quality, reliability,...
My question: how can i convince him to order some stamps? (he is a little reticent...)

Quality - High
Reliability - High
They're assembled from tested components by Parallax at their place of business and tested after assembly. How many microcontroller manufacturers feature a forum with as much advice as Parallax's with participation by the designers and implementers of the hardware and software let alone the founders and owners of the business.
He's always asking to create such functions with an avr or pic. :mad:
Remember that the BS2 actually has a PIC16F57 inside doing the work while the other Stamps have an SX microprocessor which was developed as a competitor, then, because of a patent lawsuit, was abandoned by Scenix (the developer).
The quality and reliability of the basic stamp, but so is the cost. You can do a lot with one of these. Have you considered the propeller, it can do a lot of things simultaneously, has 40 pins and there are existing light effect/sound effect boards out there that you can modify.
Just a thought.
