Was in Lowes for some other things and found a couple Eaton plug in outlet switches in the back isle clearance section for about $10 each. Even if I don't use them for switches as I understand it I could use them to extend the range of the network. Their site still shows them at full price so...

After all the drama with the 700 series hardware, I'm a little bit more cautious about upgrading to 800, but did order the Zooz ZST39 USB interface as I'm really interested in the Long Range feature. So far it looks like there isn't an easy migration route, and may have to rebuild my Z-Wave...
