Is Insteon still best option for 3-way with dimmer control?

Are Insteon switches still the best option for 3-way switches with dimmer control and support for LED bulbs?
I was going to start changing over to Wemo but their 3-way switch doesn't dim.

If your configuration has the traveler wire, then many of the Z-Wave switches that have companion switches (like HomeSeer for instance) work as well. If not, then Insteon is (IMO) the best solution.

Question: were you intending to integrate the WeMo switches with Indigo, and if so how?

You can also use zwave module behind switches for 3 way with 3 core wires or more expensively, 2 zwave modules with association.

Thanks--decided to go with 2 Insteon switches.

I would like to integrate the Demo switches with Indigo but haven't explored how to do that yet ;)
For now I was going to use them with HomeKit.
