Ikea Tredansen or Lutron shades? (self.homekit)

Getting ready to dip my toe into the world of smart shades. The Lutrons look stylish, and the warranty is attractive, but the Ikea ones are so damn affordable, and I heard they have vastly improved in the past few years.

Can anybody make a recommendation for the Ikea smart shades (in particular, the honeycomb Tredansen)? Or can you justify the price of the Lutron for me somehow?

Our new place is blessed to have numerous, gigantic windows with splendid exposures, but is also cursed to have numerous, gigantic windows with splendid exposures. To outfit just the major windows into bedrooms and into the living room (for projector screen blackout) on the Luton would be like $5K.

I got Smartwings shades for a bedroom. Really like it, not loud, you can add a solar usb charger too. Works with Thread and I’ve had zero issues.
