Short answer:
1) Control4 needs an integrator to set up. LMCE can be done by you.
2) Control4 moves the video over analog connections. LMCE integrates it into the network.
3) Control4 controls legacy video devices. LMCE eliminates them for the most part.
Control4 is really the newest of the last generation solutions. It is a rebirth of FAST but isn't new and is technically pretty obsolete. It doesn't do video internally except for its own UI. The lighting stuff is all Zigbee and amazingly "open standard proprietary" since there really isn't an open Zigbee market.
I hope this helps.
