Zigbee is using 2.4GHz. Add 50 Zigbee devices and watch all 2.4GHz connections in your home suffer (WiFi, Bluetooth, wireless mice/keyboards/gamepads...).

Z-Wave is using 800MHz range. Add 100 Z-Wave devices and watch your Z-Wave network getting stronger and stronger while all your other 2.4GHz devices continue to work as normal.
