Controller vs Responder Selection

I have been looking at the wiki's and other postings but still am a bit confused as to the selection to be made when adding a new device. From what I gather a controller is automatically a responder with the ISY.

 

Question is why would you not just make everything a controller vs just selecting it as a responder? Understand some units cannot be controllers, fanlinc, EZIO, etc. What is the downside to everything being a controller or vise a versa what is the advantage to making something just a responder?

A device (node) can be a Controller of one Scene only. Insteon does not create a structure where a device (node) can control multiple Scenes, therefore it is important to define a device (node) as a Controller in the appropriate Scene. A device (node) can be a Responder in multiple Scenes.
