Difference between Maestro and Diva dimmers?

I posted this in the Caseta forum, but maybe this is the more appropriate place? I need a few "non-smart" dimmers for my closets and bathrooms, figured I'd go with one of these. But having an impossible time figuring out the differences. Thanks!

Hello ratbatty, The Maestro family is a digital line of dimming controls and the Diva family is analog. As far as the end user is concerned, they will both dim the same. The differences are really in user interface and aesthetics. The Diva will have a toggle button for on and off, and the Maestro has a push button. The Diva has a slider for dimming, and the Maestro uses a push button rocker for dimming. For more information, please see the following links.

I've had a better luck with Lutron C-L dimmers than Leviton equivalent.
The C-L dimmers are specifically designed to avoid instability with LEDs and CFLs.

Flickering and pulsing are common problems when you dim light emitting decorations with ordinary dimmers, but marketing is generally unwilling to require proprietary dimmer.

Diva has a sliding dimmer.That style comes in regular incandescent,0-10 volt,Magnetic Low Voltage.You also get color choices in both glossy and their fancy ColorsMaestro is also decora style has some smart features so you can install an dimmer on the other end of a multi setup and dim them from both ends whereas with a manual dimmer,one end has to be a switch
